Photo: Reuters, 2016 In Illinois today, a law firm announced they are filing a lawsuit against Tesla to hold the electric car maker accountable for a teen who died in an accident involving a car they say had a defective battery pack. The lawsuit filed by Chicago firm Corboy & Demetrio claims Tesla's 2014 Model S sedan had a defective battery pack that was responsible for the death of an 18-year old passenger in an accident last May. Some 12 cases of Tesla S batteries spontaneously bursting into flames, while parked or driving out on the road, have happened in the last five years, the law firm says. Elon Musk's electric car company has been in the news over the past year or so with stories that raise concerns about the conditions in which these Tesla batteries are produced. There's also the whole thing about a Mexican drug cartel dealing meth inside one of the factories where the batteries are made.
