This law firm requests paying “more” than $30,000 per viewer, divided equally between “general” and “special” damages.
After the incident in which he was involved Carlos Sainz caused the interruption of FP1, there was a long delay while the manhole covers were checked. FP2 was due to start at midnight, and He finally did it at 2:30 in the morning local time. However, the venue was cleared of spectators an hour before, due to personnel and security problems.
Remember:
Affected spectators were later offered a $200 voucher to spend in the venue’s stores. Thus, the law firm Dimopoulos, in collaboration with JK Legal & Consulting, filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of the 35,000 viewers who, as they stated, were in the circuit.
The lawsuit alleges “breach of contract, negligence and deceptive trade practices against defendants“, which are the Las Vegas GP and TAB Contractors Inc., the company in charge of maintaining the track.
The main lawyer, Steve Dimopouloswell known in the city for personal injury cases and for his billboards and television ads, said: “We will vindicate the rights of fans who traveled great distances and paid small fortunes to attend, but were deprived of the experience.” .
The appeal summarizes the events of Thursday night, althoughincorrectly signs that training resumed at 3:30 in the morning, instead of at 2:30.
“The joints that were to surround the manhole cover were installed and inspected by defendant TAB and the scope of its contract to work on the track in question and get it ready for the race,” they continued.
“The work on the runway carried out by TAB, including the installation of the defective manhole cover and the concrete to seal it, It was completed just a few days before of the practice event and the track was not ready for the race at the time of the grand prix“.
“F1 and/or its contractors, and safety organizations, had the obligation to inspect the runway to ensure it was safe for pilots to use and that she was prepared for training. They did not detect the defects and/or poor installation of the TAB-sealed manhole cover, and “They didn’t make sure the track was prepared.”they continued.
The claim also refers to the conditions of the tickets, which suggest that if the event in question was canceled and not rescheduled, the nominal value of the same would have to be returned. “At the time of filing this claim, none of the attendees and/or guests who purchased tickets for the “free training”, and who were deprived of the opportunity to attend it for reasons beyond their control, have received and/or been offered any refund for their tickets“.
The lawsuit requests “compensation for damages in an amount that fairly and reasonably compensates them for the damage caused by the defendants. Additionally, the plaintiffs claim damages for mental anguish in an amount to be determined by the jury that is fair and reasonable in consideration of the defendant’s willful, reckless and intentional conduct.”
The Formula 1 organization is aware of the lawsuit, but a spokesperson declined to comment when contacted by Motorsport.com.
