13 Lawsuits Filed Against Racing Company

A total of 13 lawsuits have been filed for the racing car accident that took the lives of eight people and injured 12 more. The lawsuit names not only the racing association but the government as well. The accident took place in San Bernardino County over 19 months ago. A driver was heading down the course when his tire struck a rock coming out of the ground. Even though the rock was protruding nearly a foot above ground, the driver failed to see it in time. The truck's steering system was damaged, causing the truck to overturn and drive into the crowd.

All of the victim's families have filed a lawsuit against Mojave Desert Racing, Inc., the organizer of the event, as well as the federal Bureau of Land Management. The lawsuits claim that the bureau did not uphold the rules that are intended to keep spectators at a safe distance, nor did the event company provide a safe route for the race. If you have plans to file a lawsuit following a car accident, it is advised that you hire a personal injury attorney that can protect your best interests.
