Ford ordered to pay $ 2.5 billion after a fatal accident

The court of first instance recognized the “Blue Oval” by the defendant in the case of a car accident. The family couple from Georgia crashed into Ford F-250 Super Duty 2015 model year: the pickup flew out of the road, flew up on a drainage pipe and rolled over. Both the driver and the passenger died; The lawyers managed to prove: the victims could not be avoided due to the insufficient strength of the pickup roof.

Although the accident occurred in 2022, the verdict was issued by the court only now. Lawyers of the injured side claim that Ford F-Series 1999-2016 trucks were made with defective and potentially dangerous roofs. A judicial practice plays against the Ford concern: in 2022, the auto giant lost the case on another death accident, which happened in 2014, and paid the family of the deceased $ 170 million.

Ford lawyers argue that there were no miscalculations in the design of the pickup, but the plaintiff provided an examination from which it follows: the ratio of strength to the weight of the F-2.50 is 1: 1, while IIHS (insurance institute of road safety) is evaluated “good” with the ratio with the relationship 4: 1. Nevertheless, the Blue Oval considers the payment of $ 2.5 billion unreasonably high and intends to appeal the decision.

Ford lawyers have encountered similar lawsuits: often the owners of F-Series Super Duty who did not fall into the accident with a deformed roof turn to the courts. However, the American femid will have to deal with all the circumstances.
