DoorDash Inc. persuaded a judge that a lawsuit blaming the company for the death of a pedestrian who was killed by a speeding deliver driver belongs in Wisconsin, where the accident happened and the driver lives. California Superior Court Judge Richard Ulmer issued his decision after a hearing Monday, reversing a tentative ruling he made Friday that kept the case in San Francisco, DoorDash’s hometown.
“The driver’s Wisconsin residence tips the balance,” Ulmer wrote in a one-paragraph ruling. The driver will probably be a key witness in the case, he said. “Yet, she cannot be compelled to come to San Francisco to testify at trial. Plaintiffs suggest a deposition video, but that is an imperfect substitute for live trial testimony.”
