- Spivak 9y agoThat's not how this works even for normal cars. You don't sue by proxy. If a car malfunctions due to a defect then it's not the driver's responsibility to pay the injured parites unless you can also prove that they were somehow at fault by knowingly driving a dangerous car. In a normal defective car case the suit against the driver will be unsuccesful but the suit against the manufacturer might go through.
- dragonwriter 9y ago> You don't sue by proxy. Actually, a defendant then suing a third party as described by the grandparent is a thing, called “contribution” [0], and I'm fairly certain there are cases where it's been applied in exactly the manner he grandparent describes involving automakers.
