Driver Sues Estate of Jogger He Fatally Struck, Citing Emotional Distress A driver who killed a jogger in 2025 is now suing the victim's estate for emotional damages, claiming PTSD and hospitalizations, while the victim's wife mourns the loss of a devoted father and dedicated healthcare professional. In a deeply unsettling development, the driver involved in a fatal collision that claimed the life of a jogger in 2025 has initiated a lawsuit against the victim’s estate, seeking damages for what he describes as severe emotional distress. Anthony Miller, aged 37, tragically lost his life while running with his wife, Bailey Miller, on a dark August morning in Lincoln, Nebraska. The incident occurred around 4:45 a.m. when the pickup truck driven by 25-year-old Gavin Maas struck Mr. Miller. According to a police report obtained by the Omaha World-Herald, Maas stated that he had observed Bailey Miller jogging and had maneuvered his vehicle to provide her with additional space. However, he failed to notice Anthony Miller, who was also running on the roadway, leading to the fatal accident. Maas remained at the scene following the crash and reportedly attempted to administer life-saving measures, as reported by KOLN, but sadly, his efforts were insufficient to save Mr. Miller’s life. Investigators suggested that the adverse weather conditions, including rain, may have contributed to the circumstances of the collision. Importantly, the driver was not issued a citation. The police also highlighted that Mr. Miller was wearing dark attire and lacked any visible reflective gear, making him exceptionally difficult to see in the pre-dawn darkness. The lawsuit filed by Maas against Anthony Miller’s estate is reportedly seeking a minimum of $50,000 in compensation, encompassing claims for emotional injuries and associated medical expenses. Court documents reviewed by KOLN indicate that Maas alleges he has been suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) since the incident and has required multiple hospitalizations. As of the time of this publication, Us Weekly has been unable to identify legal representatives for either Gavin Maas or Anthony Miller’s estate to solicit comments. Bailey Miller, in her statement to the Omaha World-Herald, shared that she and Anthony had been married for seven years and were the proud parents of two young daughters, emphasizing that being a father was his greatest source of pride and that he cherished his children deeply. Anthony Miller was a respected nurse practitioner specializing in acute care surgery at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Dr. Charity Evans, in a statement released after Anthony’s passing, recalled her early professional interactions with him, describing him as a compassionate and detail-oriented nurse in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit, whom patients held in high regard. She further expressed gratitude for his recruitment to the Acute Care Surgery team as an advanced practice provider and noted that his dedication to patient care and his support for colleagues would serve as an enduring example for many years to come
