Omar Awan died because bystanders couldn't open the doors of his Tesla Model S due to its unique door handles, the lawsuit alleges.

The family of Omar Awan, a Tesla lessee who died in February after his Model S sedan caught fire, is suing the electric-car maker, alleging that"the Model S' design was defective and unreasonably dangerous." A policeman and other bystanders were not able to attempt to rescue Awan because the design of the Model S' door handles prevented them from opening the vehicle's doors, the family's attorneys claim in the lawsuit.
