Chen v. L.A. Truck Cntrs., No. B265304 (D2d8 Jan. 18, 2017)
Some tourists were killed or injured in a tour bus crash on the way to the Grand Canyon. Plaintiffs sued the Bus Driver, the Tour Company, the Dealer that sold the bus to the Tour Company, and the Manufacturer that built the bus. There’s not much dispute that Driver was at fault for speeding and swerving off the road and that a substantial factor in Plaintiffs’ injuries (including two deaths) was that the bus didn’t have passenger seat belts.
Plaintiffs are Chinese nationals. Manufacturer is from Indiana, where the bus was assembled. Dealer, Tour Company, and Driver are from California. But the bus was delivered to the Tour Company in Nevada. And the accident occurred in Arizona. Which all sets up a bar-exam-quality choice-of-law problem.
