Girl’s parents file wrongful death suit in fatal crash

A wrongful death and negligence lawsuit has been filed against a teenager and his parents over a November vehicle accident that killed a high school sophomore.

Suit was filed against the driver of a pickup truck the sophomore was a passenger in when it rolled over and the driver's parents.

The suit alleges the parents are also responsible for letting their son drive their 2004 Silverado pickup, despite allegedly knowing he was an unsafe driver.  This lawsuit alleges that at the time of the wreck, the driver had a limited driver's license permitting him to have no passengers in any vehicle he drove except for an adult relative.

In the criminal case, the driver acknowledged he was neglectful, driving 62 mph in a 25 mph zone, and that his neglect resulted in the death and another passenger's injuries, which included a fractured vertebrae and internal bleeding.

If you or someone you care about have been injured or killed in an automobile accident, please contact SMSH attorney Jonathan Harris at (800) 282-2122.  Mr. Harris has handled thousands of cases dealing with automible accident injuries.
