Victims of the Apple Store crash and their families sued Apple and other companies on the grounds that protection measures were not in place.

CTOnews.com, December 1 (Xinhua)-- one person was killed and more than 20 injured in a fatal car accident in Apple Store, Hingham, Massachusetts, last week. Some victims and families have now decided to sue Apple, building properties, real estate developers and truck drivers on the grounds that inadequate protection measures have failed to properly protect their potential customers.

Lawyers representing the victims said lawsuits had been filed against various parties, including Apple. Doug Sheff, a law firm based in Boston and Sheff & Cook, said:

After consulting relevant experts, they told us that the disaster was 100% avoidable. They only need to put some obstacles or guard posts between the traffic in the parking lot to avoid it, while the traffic near the parking lot is so heavy that there is only a 10-yard distance between the public and the parking lot.

CTOnews.com learned that one of the plaintiffs involved in the lawsuit was also an employee of the Apple Store, who was seriously injured in the crash. Lawyers recommend that these victims protect their rights by filing cases independently, so that they can protect their rights and interests to the maximum extent and get more compensation.
