Jury Awards Damages in Ford Rollover Case
A federal jury has ordered Ford Motor Co. to pay $18.3 million to a musician paralyzed in a 2005 rollover crash. Following a three week trial, jurors found that Ford was 100 percent at fault for a defect in the seat latching mechanism that caused the man’s head to slam into the roof when the vehicle skidded off an icy road in Iowa. The award will be used to pay for past and future care, the man’s attorney said.
