Parents of Crash Victim Awarded $11 Million in Mitsubishi Case

Posted on Thursday 28 February 2008

A Florida jury has awarded nearly $11 million to the parents of a student killed in the 2004 crash of a Mitsubishi sport utility vehicle. They claimed that his death in a rollover accident was caused by a defective seatbelt and front passenger seat. The jury deliberated for less than a day after a three-week trial. Mitsubishi Motors North America issued a statement saying it intended to appeal, claiming there were "several erroneous rulings" and "improper and inflammatory statements made by the judge."
