Lamborghini Case Closed: Driver Cleared of Liability
A court ruling has brought closure to the so-called 'Lamborghini case' in Leipzig. The driver of a rented luxury sports car has been found not liable for a total damage accident that occurred in October 2018.
The incident took place on the federal road 6 during a dark and rainy night. The driver, who had been given a joyride in the car as a gift by his wife through an agency, lost control of the 580-hp vehicle, leading to an accident. Both the driver and the passenger, an employee of the agency, were injured.
The driver denied responsibility for the accident, instead blaming the passenger for not turning off the sports mode. However, the Regional Court Leipzig dismissed the car dealership's lawsuit, finding no intentional or grossly negligent behavior by the defendant. The Higher Regional Court Dresden later rejected the dealership's appeal, upholding the initial ruling. The dealership had sought damages of over 150,000 euros for the total economic damage to the car. The claim for damages had become time-barred due to a short limitation period of six months for rental agreements.
The courts have ruled in favor of the driver, finding him not liable for the accident. The dealership's lawsuit has been dismissed, and the driver is not responsible for the total damage. The case highlights the importance of understanding and adhering to the terms and conditions of rental agreements.
