The plaintiff in a case against Chrysler involving the deaths of two people who died when their vehicle was struck and burst into flames has opposed the automaker’s attempt to have the litigation transferred from Pennsylvania to a New York federal court.
Chrysler, also referred to as FCA US, wants the case transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York as it was the venue for its 2009 bankruptcy, the provisions of which are in dispute in the accident case. Chrysler maintains that the bankruptcy makes it immune to punitive damages from events occurring prior to the bankruptcy.
