Florida Jury Awards Woman $10.4 Million For Ford Pickup Crash

Posted by Editor | Posted in Personal Injury Cases in the News

A West Palm Beach, Florida personal injury jury found Ford Motor Company responsible for a woman’s crippling injuries and awarded her $10.4 million. 66-year old Donna Grimes of Boca Raton was left a quadriplegic when her Ford Explorer was struck from behind.

The jury found that her injuries occurred when the reclining mechanism in her seat failed, throwing her backward and snapping her neck when her head struck the back seat.

Ford said it will appeal the personal injury award. A spokesman said the crash was so severe that Ford’s seat design could not be held responsible for Ms. Grimes’ injuries.
