#Tesla

I agree that Tesla should be held financially liable for the deaths of the kids in the back seat who suffocated and/or burned up in the crash in Piedmont, even though all of the kids (including the driver) apparently were high on drugs & alcohol.

Because, in legal terms, "but for" for the #negligent design of the #Cybertruck, even under the influence, the kids in the back seat could have gotten out of the truck if there was simply a manual door opener available to exit the vehicle.

Hope the parents of the 2 kids in back ream Tesla for $100's of Millions.

If anyone has given advice against vaccination, seen by a parent, then they might be liable in negligence.
IANAL, but worth asking one.

Suit Against #Church for #Negligent #Retention of#Pastor Can Move Ahead

In Exum v. St. Andrews-Covenant #Presbyterian Church, Inc., a #NorthCarolina state appellate court held that claims for #negligentretention, negligent infliction of #emotional #distress, and breach of fiduciary duty brought against a church do not need to be dismissed under the #ecclesiastical #abstention #doctrine because they can be decided using neutral principles of law.
