A Texas man and his daughter are suing over claims the Saturn vehicle their relative was driving had multiple safety concerns, causing fatal injuries.
- 2007 Saturn Vue
The plaintiffs claim Ratliff, Gray's wife and Solly's mother, was driving a 2007 Saturn Vue westbound on County Road 1261 on March 30, 2012, when her vehicle was stuck on the left passenger side at the intersection of FM 2661.
The suit alleges the side airbag didn't deploy and the vehicle didn't provide proper restraint even though Ratliff was wearing her seat belt at the time of the accident. Ratliff died in the crash, the suit states.
The plaintiffs are seeking damages, interest, court costs and all other relief the court deems proper.
They are being represented in the case by Dallas attorneys E. Todd Tracy, Stewart Matthews and Andrew G. Counts of The Tracy Firm.
