> Claimants of wrongful arrest suits before the bankruptcy are left fighting a shell company left behind to handle the remaining debts of Hertz.

^ This is the final paragraph, but I wish the story went into more detail about it.

The plaintiffs' lawyer alleges that there have been more than 300 cases of wrongfully arrested customers since 2015, and that most of those cases were subject to the bankruptcy proceedings.

So there are likely 150+ people who would ordinarily be able to seek recompense from the company -- but because it went through the bankruptcy process, now they get to wrestle with a shell company that has been crafted to protect Hertz as much as possible from financial liability.

Meanwhile, the company gets to carry on and -- as this lawsuit shows -- commit the same injustices after emerging from bankruptcy.
