Update On Lawsuits Over Tammy Sytch’s DUI Manslaughter Accident

A new report has updates on the two lawsuits filed over the fatal car accident which led to a DUI manslaughter conviction against Tammy Sytch. As has been reported, Sytch was named in lawsuits filed by the estate for Julian Lasseter as well as Jane Olivova over the March 2022 collision that resulted in Lasseter’s death. Olivova was a passenger in another care that was impacted during the accident.

PWInsider reports that the suit filed by the Lasseter estate has lost a defendant, as the estate filed a motion on September 12th for the lawsuit against Ultimate Motor Cars, LLC, who sold Sytch the car, to be dismissed with prejudice. That could suggest a settlement, though that has not been confirmed. The court has yet to respond to the motion. In addition to Ultimate Motor Cars, Sytch and her fiance James Pente were named as defendants in that lawsuit; the suit was originally filed just against Sytch and Pente but Ultimate Motor was added later. No court hearings are set in that matter.

The suit film Olivova had been filed against Sytch, Pente and Geico, the latter being Olivova’s insurance company. PWInsider reports that an amended lawsuit was filed in July that now only lists Geico as a defendant, meaning that Sytch and Pente have been dropped from the suit.

Sytch struck a plea deal on the criminal charges and is set to be sentenced next month. She faces over 26 years in prison.
