County of Sacramento v. Lewis

Deputy Smith pursued a fleeing motorcycle at speeds exceeding 100 miles per hour attempting to apprehend the driver, and when the motorcycle tipped over, Smith's patrol car struck and killed passenger Lewis, who couldn't get out of the way; Lewis's parents (plaintiffs) sued Smith and the County (defendants) for violating Lewis's substantive due process right to life, and the district court denied relief before the court of appeals reversed.
