Case Details
Unanimous jury verdict against Mitsubishi for a man left quadriplegic when the seat belt in his Mitsubishi 3000 GT failed during a 2017 accident. The verdict included $176 million in compensatory damages and $800 million in punitive damages.
Additional Notes
The seat belt had a 'rip-stitch' design that intentionally tears apart, making it longer and failing to protect the occupant.
