In April, the Tsukhara family filed an illicit death suit to obtain answers to the basic questions about collision. On Thursday, they filed a lawsuit against illegal death claiming that the doors design defects for Tesla Inc. Tsukhara was prevented from escaping from the car after the accident.
The lawsuit also calls Dixon and the owner of the truck, Charles Patterson, as a defendant.
The complaint, which was submitted at the Olaya County Court, claims that Tsukhara survived a collision without life -threatening injuries, but she was unable to go out after fire caught fire in the complicated electronic doors of the vehicle.
Her father, Karl Tsukhara, said: “Christa was a bright and gentle young woman and a success with her entire life in front of her.” “We had to bear not only the loss of our daughter, but the silence surrounding how this happened and why did you not be able to go out. This company is equal to a trillion dollars-how can you launch a machine that is not safe in several ways?”
Tesla representatives did not respond to the request to comment on the modified lawsuit and the design of the Cybertruck door. The lawsuit claims that Tsukhara died of inhaling smoke and thermal injuries after it became trapped in the back seat.
The complaint also confirms that Tesla depends on energy -based doors that violate the basic safety standards and ignore a contract of warnings and incidents documented in previous Tesla models.
“This lawsuit revolves around the truth and accountability,” said lawyer Roger Drair, who represents the Tsukhara family. “The design of this car in Krysta has failed. There was no performance, manual exception to it or its emergency release to escape. Its death was prevented.”
Tsukhara was a student at the Savana College of Arts and Design in Georgia and was in Pedmont to spend the Thanksgiving holiday.
