Probably. If they didn't have anything to blame the company they wouldn't be suing. But it still seems like a waste of money on lawyers. Unless they will be paid only if they win the case.
I'm not saying that she should or shouldn't sue or if it's right or wrong. Just that she does have a reason. And with Volkswagon, who owns Porsche, is going through some legal drama beginning last week with some of their cars cheating the emissions test. This is a good time to file a lawsuit against them. FYI, Volkswagon has set aside 7 Billion dollars because of their emissions cheating cars. About 37,000 dollars per car.
I agree with that part- they charge money in name of safety measures and quality. So yeah if her lawyers have collected enough evidence to suggest that car shouldn't have caught fire at the impact they have a prima facie case. Rest will depend on the counter arguments etc.
That's concern of traffic police. They can issue a ticket. The company still made a car which could go at that high speed and if they the suggested it could sustain in case of accident and wouldn't burst in flames they are responsible. They charge for those safety measures in cash, when they sell their product. So it would depend on what company has to say and exactly what's the basis of the suit. It could be decided that it was driver's fault only. It may come down to who was at greater fault. Company still may have to do something about it's model even if it wins. :shrug:
