$5,400,000 | Vehicle Rollover
Through intensive jury trial Ford Motor Company was found to be liable by a Florida jury. The verdict was a landmark 5.4 million with finding of further entitlement to punitive damages against Ford. The case was settled after verdict for a confidential amount while the jury considered an even greater award of punitive damages. This verdict, in a single off-road rollover death case, was unprecedented in that Ford had won eleven (11) Explorer rollover jury trials in a row (against other lawyers) until Viles & Beckman put an end to their winning streak.
