Kelley | Uustal Trial Attorneys is representing the family of Jazmin Alcala in a lawsuit alleging that Tesla’s defective vehicle caused the crash and subsequent fire that took the 19-year-old’s life in Miami.

This week, a Special Magistrate backed sanctions against Tesla, recommending that the jury be instructed that Tesla knew its testing showed similar failures and ordering the carmaker to comply with discovery requests. This is the second time in this case that Tesla has been sanctioned by the court for the same type of discovery abuse.

Alcala’s family is represented by Todd R. Falzone, John Uustal and Joshua S. Novak. Trial is scheduled to begin November 30, 2026.

In the first half of 2026, K|U’s Medical Malpractice team recovered more than $20 million for clients in catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases involving negligent care.

When negligent medical care causes catastrophic harm, patients and their families are left facing consequences that can last a lifetime. When the stakes are that high, the lawyers handling the case matter. For our clients, these cases are about far more than a recovery. They are about what life looks like from here.
