Hat tip to Abnormal Use: The Unreasonably Dangerous Products Liability Blog for advising me about this Utah lawsuit.
Apparently, a woman followed Google Maps walking directions on her Blackberry, walking across a four-lane highway where she was struck by an approaching vehicle. She sued Google; here is a copy of the suit.
Her lawyer says that the plaintiff f was walking in an area she had never been before, at a time when it was very dark, and that Google failed to warn the Plaintiff that walking routes may be missing sidewalks or pedestrian paths. Here is an image of the scene from Google. Google says that every software version for mobile devices has had a disclaimer that advises walkers to use caution since Google Maps was launched in 2008.
