The plaintiff was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sued the vehicle manufacturer and dealer.
In a second action, the plaintiffs sued their insurer for failing to preserve the vehicle.
The insurer issued a third-party claim against the plaintiffs' lawyers, alleging they were negligent in failing to preserve the evidence.
The third-party lawyers moved to strike the claim.
The court granted the motion, holding that any negligence by the lawyers fell within the scope of their agency and would be attributable to the plaintiffs, making the third-party claim unnecessary.
