Still stunning to me how a drunk driver speeding without seatbelts hits a twenty year old truck and it is somehow the truck manufacturing companies fault. This is stupid justice. Fire the judges.
I agree that the fault all seems to be with the driver, but it’s an open secret that the rear guards are just decoration. Since this would be considered excessive government regulation, the on’y way things will get better is through lawsuits like this.
And you may have misses the memo from Roberts, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, the correct way to remedy judgements like this is through appeal, which is what happened here.
The verdict needs to be thrown out. I can’t believe a jury found Wabash at fault.
Verdict is not surprising. St Louis County ranks no. 8 on the list of “judicial hell holes” in the U.S. That’s why personal injury lawyers will try like heck to find a way to sue there or in one of the other judicial hell holes in the U.S.
The USA desperately needs Tort reform. Our current system raises the cost of everything.
