Case Details

Francis Amagasu suffered catastrophic spinal cord injuries due to a defective seat belt in his 1992 Mitsubishi 3000GT during a 45-mph rollover crash. The lawsuit claimed Mitsubishi was reckless in its design of the seat belt, which ripped apart and caused Mr. Amagasu to break his neck.

Additional Notes

Believed to be the largest ever crashworthiness verdict in Pennsylvania, and one of the largest ever in Philadelphia, the U.S., and against Mitsubishi. The seat belt was a 'rip-stitch' design that failed, forcing the driver's head into the car's roof.
