Who Can Tammy Successfully Sue? List The Potential Defendants
David B. Lupoff, Esq. Personal Injury and workers’ comp. 1-877-505-INJURY
While Tammy was at a stop light in her 4 year old Totoya car, she was sending a text message to her boyfriend who lived in Ohio. Jerry, who was stopped behind Tammy was in a self-driving Uber car. Suddenly, the automated Uber car malfunctioned, causing it to roll into Tammy’s rear bumper at 3 mph which triggered Tammy’s airbag to deploy, violently thrusting her cell phone into her face, resulting in severe, permanent disability. While Tammy was in the hospital, she immediately hired an attorney after watching a lawyer commercial. A month after retaining her attorney, her insurance company had her airbag replaced. Tammy eventually filed a lawsuit against Uber, and the automaker that supplied Uber with the automated car.
Approximately 3 months after the accident, Tammy’s friend, who’d recently passed the bar exam told Tammy that her lawyer screwed up.
Bonus question: Was there some sort of spoliation of the evidence?
