The Russian widow claims late husband, Alexandre Anisonian, was wrongfully killed in his Bentley Continental GT because the vehicle’s side curtain airbags failed to deploy.
She is suing Bentley through their Brooklands Moscow dealership for 60 million roubles (about $1.9m). Mr Anisonian died on February 8, 2012 when his Continental GT was hit by a large truck that ran a red light.
"Since the accident, we have run several tests that all conclude the strong impact should have set off the car's side curtain airbags," Mrs Anisonian’s lawyers said in a statement.
Bentley has responded to the lawsuit by denying any blame, but stating that it is cooperating with Russian authorities.
The luxury carmaker – owned by auto giant Volkswagen Group – said it takes safety very seriously and its vehicles meet the strictest crash test standards in the world.
Overseas media reports have suggested the court hearing scheduled for January 14 will be told Anisonian’s Bentley was travelling at high speed when the accident occured.
