Or how about the verdict against Ford for the Bronco II which was dangerous because the driver was paralyzed in a rollover.... After he got behind the wheel drunk, didn't wear a seatbelt, and fell asleep behind the wheel (so the vehicle went off the road, ejected him and then rolled over top of him)...
Or there's the girl who was killed in a mid-80s escort that didn't have airbags, and her parents sued saying they should have been standard equipment, and she would have survived with them. They got a fat award, even though the escort was one of the few vehicles available with airbags as an option back then, and they chose not to buy them....
Or how about the lawsuit in Texas, where someone left their kid in the car out in the sun, and then sued Ford after the child baked to death, saying that there should be a standard cooling system built into the car to cool off the interior when its parked in the sun so those things don't happen..
These lawsuits are out of control, and have been for some time...
And we wonder why the domestic auto industry is circling the bowl.
Card carrying idiots, must be barred from jury duty-the survival of civilization depends on it.
