Case Results and Jury Verdicts
PLAINTIFF VERDICT: $5,101,829
Versus: Daimler Chrysler
Product Liability: Jeep Grand Cherokee v. Pedestrian
The client had suffered partial leg amputation; fractured leg;
head and hand injuries; scars.
The jury determined that the 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokees were not
reasonably safe due to their design. Defendant, Daimler Chrysler
was negligent for failing to retrofit the Jeep with a brake transmission
shift interlock and failing to provide adequate warning after the
Jeep was manufactured.
There are over 500 active runaway Jeep Cherokee injury and death
cases nationally and this was the first, and so far the only, that
has carried a jury verdict.
Daimler Chrysler's appeal was rejected at the Court of Appeals
and Supreme Court levels; consequently, Buckley & Associates
successfully forced Daimler Chrylser to pay the judgment, plus interest,
for a net total exceeding $6 million dollars.
