Case Details
Client was a 21-year-old woman who was driving a car manufactured by Suzuki. As she was backing down her driveway, the driver’s seat back broke causing her to lose control of the car and strike her house. The client was ejected through the back window and suffered extensive facial lacerations that required surgery and left her with scars. Suzuki denied that the car was defective and claimed that the seat back broke after the car hit the house. By hiring an automotive expert, we were able to reconstruct the accident and prove that the seat back broke before the car stuck the house. A jury found that the car was defectively manufactured and awarded $700,000.
Additional Notes
Jury found car defectively manufactured. Automotive expert reconstructed accident to prove seat back broke before impact.
