Duree
A woman who claims a Wood River dealership concealed vehicle defects argues that punitive damages are appropriate and for a jury to decide.
On Feb. 18, Madison County Circuit Judge Sarah Smith granted plaintiff Brittany Nicole Hewitt’s request to file a sur-reply to the motion for summary judgment filed by defendants DBJ Automotive II, doing business as J.D. Byrider of Wood River, and DBJ Investments Inc., also known as CNAC of Wood River.
The 159-page document, filed through attorney David Duree of O’Fallon, included the discovery depositions of Joseph Dugan and Thomas Thomas III.
Dugan, who said he attempted to buy a house in Granite City with the plaintiff, testified about the circumstances surrounding the purchase of the vehicle at issue, the engine issues the vehicle had, and the consequences of Hewitt’s damaged credit score.

The complaint explained that Imperial Chemical Industries Limited and Chemical Industries PLC, predecessors of Syngenta, and Chevron Chemical Company, a predecessor of Chevron, manufactured products with paraquat between 1964 and 1986. Chevron reportedly used the paraquat products and distributed them for sale throughout the United States. After 1986, Syngenta continued to manufacture paraquat and use it in various products.Â
