Families File Lawsuit Against Suspected DUI Driver Who Killed 11-Year-Old Cupertino Girl

On Sept. 13, two families filed a wrongful death lawsuit in Superior Court against the suspected DUI driver who killed 11-year-old Mahi Kothari in Cupertino, along with other parties responsible for enabling the incident. Lawyers for the families also plan to file a claim against the City of Cupertino for failing to make the street where this occurred safe for pedestrians.

Mahi tragically died, while the other children sustained numerous injuries, some of them critical, including a spine fracture and brain injury. Mahi was a bright and talented young girl with a passion for science, debate, and music. Her wish was to use science to help minimize suffering in this world.

Attorney Seema Bhatt of Minami Tamaki LLP in San Francisco, representing the Kothari family, said: “The Kothari family and their community are heartbroken over the senseless loss of Mahi, who was walking home from the park with her family when, suspected DUI driver, Adam Wu drove into the bike lane where the children were legally walking. The family is hopeful that the DA's office will hold the driver fully accountable for his actions and bring justice for Mahi. We also extend our gratitude to law enforcement, advocacy groups, and all those who continue to work tirelessly to prevent such tragedies.”
