According to the document, Ham, who says he was "severely injured" as a result of the multi-car accident, is demanding that the singer pay for unspecified medical bills, pain and suffering, legal costs and punitive damages.
This is the fourth lawsuit Brandy is facing regarding the crash that killed 38-year-old Awatef Aboudihaj.
