Largest South Carolina Personal Injury Verdict in 2006 Against an Automobile Manufacturer - Ford Will Pay $31 Million For Bronco Rollover

Posted by TotalInjury.com Staff Writer | Posted in Personal Injury Cases in the News

Jesse Branham III was 12 when the Ford Bronco II his mother was driving rolled over and left him with serious brain injuries.  A South Carolina State Court Jury found Ford 55% responsible for the personal injury accident because the Bronco has a high center of gravity causing it to rollover during tight maneuvers.  

State law will require Ford pay for the entire South Carolina personal injury award which includes $15 million for punitive damages and $16 million for actual damages.  The second largest automobile maker in the US will appeal the verdict on the grounds that Mrs Branham admitted she turned her head to talk to the kids in the back seat and allegedly did not make sure they had their seat belts on right.
