Ford Motor is going through a possible $1.7 billion in punitive damages after a Georgia jury reached a verdict Friday in a case involving a 2014 rollover of a Ford F-250 pickup truck that left two individuals useless.
The Gwinnett County jury decided that damages must be imposed on Ford for promoting 5.2 million Tremendous Responsibility vehicles with what plaintiffs’ attorneys mentioned have been dangerously weak roofs that might crush passengers in a rollover accident, in keeping with James Butler, a lawyer representing the plaintiffs within the case.
