Ronald Dean Goodrich has filed a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of his mother, Virginia Goodrich, who was killed in a car accident involving another student driver.
Virginia Goodrich, 77, was hit by a student driver on May 11, 2010. The student driver, accompanied by a driving instructor, reportedly accelerated through a stop sign and crashed into Goodrich. According to the personal injury lawsuit, Ronald Goodrich is seeking damages from the following defendants: the driver, the driver's mother, and the driver's instructor, Randall Rasmussen.
The wrongful death lawsuit alleges the Rasmussen, who was riding as a passenger in the front seat, had a duty to look after the student driver. However, he failed to exercise that duty when the car accident occurred.
The wrongful death lawsuit also claims the Department of Public Safety and the school district failed to properly educate, train and supervise the instructor.
