Barbara Bagley the negligent driver is facing a wrongful death lawsuit brought by Barbara Bagley the widow and representative of her late husband’s estate.
“She is facing funeral expenses, medical expenses and creditors.”
She can only expect compensation if the court upholds her claim that she was a negligent driver, with the financial responsibility resting with her insurers.
As a widow, Ms Bagley is seeking damages to cover medical and funeral expenses along with compensation for the pain suffered by her husband, Bradley Vom Baur, who died 10 days after the December 2011 crash.
She will also face cross examination by lawyers acting on her behalf as a motorist. Her husband was thrown from the car when it overturned after hitting a huge sagebrush bush as the couple drove across the Nevada desert.
The decision by the Utah appeal court means that Ms Bagley the widow will have to give evidence against herself as a negligent driver... Reid Tateoka, who is acting on behalf of Ms Bagley in her capacity as a widow, said she has been forced to sue herself to receive money from her insurers.
“The insurance company refused to pay out and said she was at fault. “It said it was prepared to pay for the car, but it would not take responsibility for her husband.
