A lawsuit filed by Gabriel Lahijani alleges that he sustained second-degree burns on his back on May 31st after sitting in the driver’s seat of a newly rented Mercedes-Benz AMG vehicle while wearing a sleeveless shirt. According to the complaint, the injuries were subsequently confirmed by a dermatologist. The legal filing also details a subsequent incident involving another individual approximately six weeks later.
This second claim involves Karina Bath, who reported experiencing a burning sensation after touching the AMG logo on a Mercedes parked in hot weather. She stated that the imprint of the logo remained visible on her skin in the following days. The joint lawsuit suggests that these incidents are related to a specific design feature of the Mercedes-AMG class vehicles.
The plaintiffs assert that this feature allows the driver to touch the logo imprint with their arm, which allegedly results in a burning sensation. These accounts raise questions regarding the interaction between the vehicle’s design elements and the occupants. The core of the dispute centers on whether the vehicle’s construction contributes to potential skin irritation or burns for the driver.
The lawsuit formally presents these claims regarding the alleged burns sustained by both individuals connected to the Mercedes model.
