Award upheld in rollover
A woman who was paralyzed after her Ford Explorer rolled over was awarded 82.6 million in damages against Ford Motor company. Initially she was awarded 369 million including 246 million in punitive damages but the higher courts have twice cut the size of the award. It appears based on this latest round of court challenges Ford will be on the hook to pay for these damages. Rollover accidents cause thousands of deaths each year and paralyze countless others each year.
