Rad Power Bike Lawsuit...Who's at Fault?

Came upon this article about someone getting badly hurt on their Rad E-Bike. Looking closer into the law suit and the person that was injured and brought on the suit. It seems to me that something does not seem right. The man that was injured is a Lawyer that specializes in these types of lawsuits, and may have had previous knowledge on the problem that caused his accident. Tell me what you think.

I think they put a washer on the axle to prevent the caliper and disc from torquing the wheel and axle off the forks.

I like the relaxing rhythmic tune you chose! IMO, Anyone not checking their own {enter any possibly dangerous equipment} before riding, at least occasionally, then they deserve whatever befalls them. Now if it was a broken weld or something then the company is at fault. Just because a company makes something doesnt mean they are liable for our ignorance or carelessness. Again IMO our nation and the west as a whole have already taken massive damage due to frivolous suits that dont get quashed instantly and many are paid out just to keep the media quiet which shouldn't be, but definitely is a huge part of the art of bringing suit. Whenever you ask yourself 'why is this soooo expensive' Liability is a massive part of it!!!

Seems like putting the lever on the other side might be a good plan. My bike has a through axle. There are no accidents now, everything is somebody's fault.

Who last assembled the bike? Very unlikely it was the manufacturer. If he'd just picked it up from a bike shop that assembled it for him that day, then he might have a case against the shop, but most likely he's had the bike a while and hasn't been maintaining it. We don't know what caused the unplanned disassembly, but it sounds very much like the quick release was too loose. Also very suspicious that he just happens to be a professional ambulance chaser.
