GM Seeks to Have Crash Award Overturned: General Motors Corp. has asked the Georgia Supreme Court in Atlanta to overturn the $105 million awarded the parents of a crash victim, arguing that the jury was swayed by unsubstantiated evidence about its pickup trucks. A jury in February found GM responsible for the death of Shannon Moseley, 17, in a 1989 crash. The jury agreed with the plaintiffs that the design of the truck’s fuel tanks, which are mounted outside the frame, caused the truck to explode when it was struck by a drunken driver. The award, including $101 million in punitive damages, was one of the biggest in history. A hearing has not yet been scheduled.
