On June 25 2012, a woman named Linda Booth lost control of her vehicle while pulling into a parking space at a Rally in the Square in Lima, Ohio. The resulting accident injured 27 people which likely occurred due to mistaking the brake and the accelerator.

Now LimaOhio.com reports, two more entities have joined list of those suing over the accident just under the two year deadline. An insurance company who paid out on behalf of its clients and a woman who claims that injuries sustained from the accident required hip replacement surgeries.
The woman, Faye Stewart, named the city of Lima, City Engineer Kirk Niemeyr, the Lima Public Works Director, the Deputy Public Works Director, ArtSpace Century Endowment Fund who held the rally, General Motors, Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield, and the Ohio Department of Job and Family services, and the driver, Linda Booth as defendants in the suit. She is seeking damages in excess of $25,000.
A similar suit was filed all of these defendants with the exception of the Department of Job and Family Services by a man who claimed to have had his leg amputated due to injuries inflicted in the accident.
Central Mutual Insurance of Van Wert also filed suit against Booth seeking $6,534 that it paid out on behalf of Richard Norton, a client injured in the accident.
Booth filed for bankruptcy in August of this past year. She filed suit to limit her liability in relation to the accident, claiming that she only has $25,000 in liability coverage.
