Cruz v. Nissan North America, et al. –– July 2017
Trial against Nissan blaming faulty brakes for a car crash that killed three people.
The case stems from a fatal 2012 crash caused by a critical failure in the braking system of a 2004 Infiniti QX56 SUV. When the Infiniti’s driver collided with a minivan in a Hollywood intersection, all three of the van’s occupants, a mother and her two young daughters, were killed in the impact.
“Nissan acted with reckless disregard for the lives of others,” said principal attorney Brett Turnbull. “It’s only right that Nissan should be held accountable, as their vehicles are still on the road today.”
