Adams and his business partner, Dr. Alireza Sadeghi, each leased an identical black 2015 Lamborghini Huracan through their company, Axis Ventures, LLC. On the day of the accident, Adams drove off in Sadeghi’s car by mistake, unaware of the mix-up until after the crash. The vehicle struck a flood wall on Tchoupitoulas Street in New Orleans, and Kristi Lirette, a passenger, died from her injuries. Her father, Brett Lirette, filed suit in May 2016, naming Adams, Axis Ventures, State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company, and GEICO Casualty Company as defendants.
