The final stage of the lawsuit brought by the family of American driver Ayrton Climo against Monaco de Trois-Rivières, ASN Canada and the Eastern Canadian Karting Championship is being held at the Trois-Rivières courthouse.
The lawsuit began its representations after two weeks of hearings. The sun defense must be followed.
The lawyer of the family of the young man who was seriously injured in Monaco in 2014 said from the beginning that his clients were relieved that the trial, which had been postponed several times due to the COVID-19 pandemic, could finally take place.
Although he believes that without the offense committed by Monaco, the Eastern Canadian Karting Championship and ASN Canada, this lawsuit would have been avoided because the accident would not have happened.
The guilt or negligence of Paul Cooke, the vice president of ASN Canada at the time, was so clear, according to the family, that the defense did not even try to prove the opposite by testifying against him. But all the witnesses named him as the ruler of the race, which he denied on discovery.
According to the lawsuit, turn 5 was extended without making the impact of this change the subject of any review. And despite the fact that three people expressed concerns about the shape of the curve, nothing was done.
This is the most frustrating part of the deal, launched family lawyer Climo. Mr. can do. Cooke, in his opinion, changes and prevent this accident, but he ignored brave the warnings.
It would have taken 20 minutes and no accidentshe begged.
