Cornellier v. Rivian, LLC

What this case is about

Consumers are suing Rivian, the electric vehicle manufacturer, alleging the company engaged in fraudulent conduct that harmed buyers. The plaintiffs claim Rivian misled them in connection with the purchase or ownership of Rivian vehicles, causing them financial harm. While the specific details of the alleged fraud are not fully described in the case filing, the lawsuit is brought as a class action on behalf of a proposed group of consumers who were similarly affected by Rivian's allegedly deceptive or dishonest practices. The case was filed in federal court based on diversity of citizenship, meaning the plaintiffs and the company are from different states, and the total damages are expected to exceed the federal threshold required for federal court jurisdiction.
