BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2024 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — A lawsuit just filed in Palm Beach County Circuit Court alleges that Al Packer Ford West in Palm Beach County is at least partially responsible for a fatal crash on I-75 that left Erin Coleman dead.
According to the suit obtained by BocaNewsNow.com, Al Packer Ford sold Morgan Peyton Schaefer a 2019 Ford F150 on June 9, 2020. On June 11, 2022, Schaefer was driving that vehicle southbound on I-75 “when his vehicle departed his lane of travel, impacted multiple metal barricades/bollards, and ultimately crossed into oncoming traffic resulting in a catastrophic and deadly head-on collision with another vehicle. That head-on collision was with a 2012 Honda Civic being driven by Erin Coleman.”
Attorneys for Erin’s husband Joshua, argue that Al Packer Ford West is partially responsible for the crash as it sold the F-150 involved in the wreck. From the suit: “The subject’s vehicle avoidance technology, AEB, failed to detect, mitigate, slow, and/or avoid the collisions and failed to detect, prevent the collisions with, and stop the vehicle before colliding with the multiple metal barricades before crossing into the oncoming lane of traffic and also failed to detect, prevent the collision with, and stop the vehicle before crashing into Erin Coleman’s vehicle.”
The suit suggests Al Packer Ford was involved in the design of the vehicle, and therefore responsible for Erin’s death.
”At all times material hereto, Ford and Al Packer owed a duty to Erin Coleman to use reasonable care to design, manufacture, and provide adequate warnings and instructions on or with the subject vehicle and to place the subject vehicle into the stream of commerce without defects so that it would perform and function as safely as an ordinary consumer wold expect when utilizing the subject vehicle in an intended or reasonably foreseeable manner.”
The suit seeks in excess of $50,000, the statutory minimum for filing in Palm Beach County Circuit Court. Read the complete suit, filed by the Boca Raton law firm of Ratzan, Weissman and Boldt, below. Read Erin Coleman’s obituary here.
Do the ambulance chasing lawyers expect the vehicle to drive itself?? How’s about personal responsibility?? Was she going over 70 mph? Was the vehicle properly maintained. Was she alert and aware of the other vehicles and obstructions around her? It’s sad that she died but this is why we have sky high auro insurance in this state.
It used to be the best example of chutzpah was the kid who murders his parents and begs the court for mercy because he is an orphan. But Joshua Cohen, husband of the deceased Erin Cohen, and his ethically challenged attorneys, Ratzan Weissman & Boldt, have the kid beat.
The lady that died was in the car that got hit by the truck. The spouse of the deceased is suing the dealership that sold the truck. Weird. Do we know if the owner of the truck is suing anybody?
