Four women were killed in a car accident last year and now the family of one of the victims has decided to file a wrongful death lawsuit against the company that hired the driver responsible for the crash. Police records show that the four women were traveling back from a birthday party the night of the fatal crash. A truck driver ran through a red light directly into the path of the second vehicle. All four women in the vehicle were killed as a result of the crash.
The lawsuit blames not only the driver but the company that decided to hire him. In addition to negligence on the roadway, the lawsuit claims that the trucking company had ignored maintenance issues with its fleet. Problems such as leaky brake connections had been reported on several of the company's trucks but had not been fixed properly. The lawsuit asks for compensation of the loss of parental services and the diminished value of life without the victim.
