The suit was filed Thursday in Gibson County on behalf of the estate of Christela Georges and her son born after the September 2015 crash that killed the 29-year-old, who was 24 weeks pregnant.
The crash along Interstate 69 also killed 60-year-old Gena Moise and injured 20 other Haitian immigrant workers who were being transported to an Evansville factory.
The Evansville Courier & Press reports the defendants include the van's owner, his son, the makers of the van's tires and the immigrants' employers.
Investigators say the van overturned with a total of 24 people inside when it blew a tire.
