Tesla Motors Personal Injury Lawsuit: Janitor Wins $13M
Introduction
Tesla Motors has agreed to pay an amount of $13 million to settle a personal injury lawsuit filed by a janitor at San Jose, California-based Flagship Facility Services Inc., providing services at Tesla’s Fremont, California.
According to the lawsuit filed, the victim was struck twice by a vehicle being driven by a co-worker employed by West Valley Staffing Group Inc., based in Sunnyvale, California on Aug. 12, 2014. She was pinned between the bumper of the vehicle and another car, resulting in serious and permanent injuries to her lower extremities and body.
The victim filed a lawsuit against Tesla and its employees, alleging that the defendants negligently owned, operated, maintained, controlled, and inspected the premises. She also claimed that they failed to warn about the dangers and failed to take safety measures for the employees. A Tesla spokesperson said the settlement was solely based on the damages and not its safety measures.
