Bevacqua Et Al V. Sig Sauer, Inc.
This legal case involves a group of plaintiffs from various states who are suing firearms manufacturer Sig Sauer for negligence, defective design, and unfair and deceptive marketing practices related to their P320 striker-fired pistol. The plaintiffs claim that the P320 is prone to unintended discharges, which have resulted in severe injuries to both users and bystanders. The plaintiffs are seeking actual, compensatory, and enhanced compensatory damages, as well as equitable relief. The court has jurisdiction due to diversity of citizenship, and venue is appropriate because a significant portion of the acts and omissions that led to the lawsuit occurred in New Hampshire, where Sig Sauer is headquartered. The plaintiffs argue that the P320 was unreasonably dangerous for its intended uses and that Sig Sauer was aware of the defect or should have been aware of it before selling the weapon to consumers.
