This is frivolous and should be thrown out. In fact, the plaintiff and lawyer should be fined $1,500 each for even suggesting there be a lawsuit.
THAT car, at 55 MPH, would barely skid before coming to a stop in a very short distance (assuming the breaks were applied aggressively or the car was in a skid). I suspect they were traveling somewhere near twice that fast, as the official reports indicate.
I feel bad for the families. It’s tragic. But it the lawsuit is shameless greed in my opinion.
Yeah, a Porsche set up like that, on clean dry pavement...??? At 55 mph that thing could come to a complete stop in less than 100 ft, or slow down to a very survivable impact in much less than that. Or simply turn. I’ve seen Porsches and other similarly set up cars make amazing turns. If that car couldn’t navigate a simple street safely it was either driver error and/or excessive speed.
Shameless and greed. Do we really need two words in the language for the same meaning?
