Tracy Morgan suing Walmart.

THR reports that the comedian, along with three others, filed the suit on Thursday in the U.S. District Court in New Jersey. "Walmart was careless and negligent in the ownership and operation of its motor vehicle, which caused Mr. Morgan to suffer severe personal injuries," the complaint reads. "As a direct and proximate result of said collision, Mr. Morgan was caused to sustain severe painful bodily injuries, including but not limited to multiple fractures which required multiple surgeries, extensive medical treatment and will require significant physical rehabilitation."

The lawsuit claims that Roper was fatigued at the time of the accident and that "Walmart knew or should have known" that he had been "awake for more than 24 consecutive hours" before the crash. It also said that Roper had commuted 700 miles to a Walmart facility before beginning his shift and that Walmart does not ensure that its workers follow shift limit regulations set by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. "Walmart not only failed to condemn, but condoned this practice of its drivers routinely violating the F.M.S.C.A. Regulations," the suit says.
