![]() As long as the driver had no indications that they were not safe to drive, a sudden medical emergency is a defense against liability for the accident. This can happen with no previous warning signs. Suppose the driver of car 2, the one who ran the stop sign, suffered a heart attack or stroke that caused them to lose consciousness. In what situations would someone who runs a stop sign not be the at-fault driver in an accident such as the one described above? But is that always the case? No, not always. In most cases, you could rightfully assume that car 2 is at fault for causing this car accident therefore, the driver of car 2 and their insurance company will have to pay out thousands of dollars in damages to the car 1 passenger. The passenger in car 1 suffers severe injuries that incapacitate them for months and leave lasting damage. Imagine this scenario: As car 1 is lawfully passing through a dangerous intersection, car 2 comes from their right, runs the stop sign, and T-bones car 1 on the passenger side. If a defective product leads to someone’s injury or death, the company responsible for the defect may be liable for the harm caused by the defective product.
