The other teen travelling along with them was thrown out of the car was heavily injured. The Model S sedan has taken inadequate measures for preventing such after collision fire incidents and has insufficient measures which can cause fires, says Philip Corboy, the Chicago attorney, who represents the lawsuit by the parents.
