Auto Deal­er­ship to Pay Por­tion of $14 Mil­lion Set­tle­ment in Rollover Crash

The AP (1/11) reported that three sons of a cou­ple who were killed in a 2006 auto acci­dent have been awarded $14.5 mil­lion in a wrong­ful death suit. The jury also decided that a San Diego car deal­er­ship that sold the cou­ple the Ford E350 Sportsmo­bile van they were dri­ving will pay between $8.5 and $11 mil­lion of the set­tle­ment. Accord­ing to the suit, the cou­ple was dri­ving in Ari­zona when a right-rear tire-tread sep­a­ra­tion caused the dri­ver to lose con­trol of the vehi­cle, roll over, and crash. The jury found that the deal­er­ship per­formed a defec­tive tire repair instead of remov­ing the tire from service.
