Zach White v. Charter Communications, Inc.

Dallas, Texas personal injury car wreck lawyer represented the Plaintiff.

This lawsuit arises from a single-car motor vehicle accident in which White suffered significant injuries.[2] On August 28, 2022 White crashed his employer-issued Ford F-450 pickup truck. His truck was equipped with a laptop stand that was designed and manufactured by Ram. White struck his head on the Ram laptop stand and suffered serious bodily injuries.



White filed this suit in Texas state court. In pertinent part, White asserts state-law products liability claims against National and Ram. One of the defendants-Ford Motor Company ("Ford”)-with the consent of two other defendants whose joinder was not challenged as improper-removed the case to this court based on diversity of citizenship. National and Ram now move to dismiss under Rule 12(b)(2) for lack of personal jurisdiction. The court is deciding the motion on the briefs, without an evidentiary hearing or oral argument.
