Ford Win in Rollover Case Is Reversed
From Bloomberg News
A U.S. appeals court reversed a 2003 jury verdict that found Ford Motor Co. wasn’t liable for the death of a mother and a daughter in an Explorer rollover accident.
A federal appeals court in San Francisco last week ordered a new trial for the family of Angela and McKenna Jaramillo, who were killed in August 2000 in an accident involving a Ford Explorer. The court found the trial judge shouldn’t have let Ford introduce evidence on other rollover accidents.
Ford shares rose 29 cents to $13.14 on the NYSE.
