About The Wrongful Death Lawsuit
According to the wrongful death lawsuit, the accident occurred near North Main Street and Ridge Avenue when the vehicle in which the deceased was riding was attempting to make a left hand turn. As the turn was being made, the vehicle was allegedly struck by the Dayton City police cruiser. The wrongful death lawsuit claims that the police offer did not apply his brakes or try to prevent the accident and accuses the police officer of willful and wanton misconduct and negligence.
The wrongful death lawsuit also names as defendants, the owner and driver of the vehicle in which the deceased was riding as a passenger. The Ohio plaintiffs claim the driver was negligent by operating the vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and that the owner of the vehicle was negligent by entrusting her vehicle to the driver.
