"Tesla Settles for $42 Million in Employee Crash Injuring Motorcyclist"
An Indiana jury found Tesla and its employee partially liable in a 2017 crash that left a motorcyclist with severe injuries, ordering them to pay over $42 million in damages. The victim, Christopher Dugan, had been seeking $191 million in damages. The crash occurred when the Tesla employee, Kyle Kaszuba, allegedly drove a company-owned Ford truck across traffic lanes, colliding with Dugan's motorcycle. Tesla's attorneys argued that Kaszuba was not negligent, while Dugan's attorney claimed Kaszuba was in a rush.
