The filings are routine in civil lawsuits. Both include claims of “general denial” of the accusations against him and a demand for a trial by jury.

Rice is named in two civil lawsuits seeking millions of dollars in damages for a crash in Dallas in late March.

Rice and another man, Theodore Knox, also face eight criminal charges for the high-speed crash.

Four others got hurt after Rice and Knox allegedly lost control of the luxury vehicles they were racing at high speeds, according to police.
