The family of a Florida woman who died after falling off the back of a motorcycle has filed a lawsuit against the man who left her for dead.
Jennifer St. Clair, 33 went on a date with Miles McChesney, 34, after meeting him on the Tinder dating app, according to a wrongful death lawsuit filed by her family.
They allege he was the driver of a 1991 black Harley Davidson which St. Clair was a passenger on the night of December 6.

She fell of the motorcycle and her body was run over by nine vehicles, her family's lawyer Todd Falzone told a news conference on Friday.
Only three drivers pulling over to help and notify authorities of what had happened.
St. Clair was later found dead on Interstate 95 in Pompano Beach at 3.00 am on December 7.
Todd Falzone said Friday that McChesney, from Schenectady in New York was visiting a cousin in Fort Lauderdale when he met St. Clair.
According to the lawsuit, the pair met with two other couples and visited a few bars in the area, the suit said.
The suit claims that McChesney 'drank alcohol to the point where he became impaired'.
McChesney is accused of 'carelessly and negligently' operating the motorcycle and caused St. Clair 'to be expelled from said motorcycle into oncoming traffic' on Interstate 95.
Falzone explained that the drivers of the other two motorcycles had ridden ahead and reportedly did not witness St. Clair fall off the bike.
He also claimed that McChesney said it was their understanding that he refused to provide information to law enforcement.
St. Clair was run over by nine vehicles, with only three drivers pulling over to help and notify authorities of what had happened.
Todd Falzone said Jennifer's loss and lack of information about her death has been extremely difficult
Falzone said Jennifer's death and the circumstances of what happened on the night she died had been difficult to take
Falzone said that McChesney did not call police and did nothing to help her.
Instead, he left the scene and called one of the other drivers who had ridden ahead, who has been identified as his cousin, Bill Young.
Young then called 911. Falzone said police had not yet shared the 911 call with the family.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, St. Clair’s body was found in the center lane. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Falzone explained that it remained unclear exactly how St. Clair ended up off the bike and whether she was killed instantly.
John E Lewis is the second defendant in the wrongful death lawsuit because as the owner of the motorcycle, he is legally responsible for whatever happens concerning that vehicle.
Lawyer Todd Falzone hope that the lawsuit helps bring St Clair's family closure and justice
The lawsuit is seeking $15,000 in damages from McChesney.
Falzone explained that it remained unclear exactly how St. Clair ended up off the bike and whether she was killed instantly.
The motorcycle was previously owned by Mcchesney’s cousin, identified as Bill Young.
He had sold the bike to a man identified as John Lewis, but asked to borrow it back while Mcchesney was in town. The motorcycle was described as a 2001 Harley Davidson. It had a back seat and backrest for a passenger.
Falzone explained that Mcchesney did nothing to help Jennifer St. Clair after she went off the bike. Instead, he called his cousin, Bill Young, who then called 911.
At a conference on Friday, Flazone said: 'We have come forward at this time, we have filed this lawsuit in an effort to once again ask for help from the community.
'This will assist us in our ability to get information. 'It is our intention to utilize this lawsuit to gain information about what took place and will now have the ability to subpoena witnesses.
St. Clair had two siblings and was 'surrounded by a big family that loves her so much'
She was also a dog lover and had a dog named Lily who she loved very much, according to her family
'All we can do again is ask for help from anyone who saw anything, there were six of them who were out that night. We understand they were at three different establishments in Del Rey.
'There have to have been witnesses. We have already been in contact with some but we need more information'.
The lawyer claimed it was his understanding that McChesney had been incarcerated up to mid November and he then came to South Florida.
During a separate news conference on December 11, St. Clair’s aunt, Amy Gamber, spoke about her niece.
She described St. Clair as 'full of live, silly and funny'. She added that St. Clair was a 'very sweet girl who would do anything for anybody'.
Gamber became emotional as she explained that St. Clair had two siblings and was 'surrounded by a big family that loves her so much'
Gamber stated that the family is looking for closure and justice for Jennifer St. Clair, urging the person responsible to 'do the right thing'.
Jennifer St. Clair’s sister-in-law, Ashley St. Clair, also started a fund on Facebook to help the family with their expenses.
She wrote a touching tribute to Jennifer, writing: 'Jennifer Amy St. Clair was a loving caring friend, niece, sister, cousin, daughter, and granddaughter whose life was taken way too soon.
'Jennifer was an avid dog lover and owner. Her heart for her family, friends, and animals showed every day.
'Her laugh and smile could light up any room. We will treasure the joyful passion for life that she shared with all of us.
'Her free spirit and loving nature will help guide us for years to come. We love her forever and we’ll miss her dearly'.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
