Car Dealership Subjected to Defective Products Lawsuit

Defective products are to blame in a lawsuit involved the death of two people in San Diego. The car dealership responsible for selling the couple their vehicle has been asked by the court to pay a portion of the overall award monies of $14.4 million. At this time the exact amount they are responsible for has not been disclosed.

The two victims, Casey and Melanie Barber, were represented by their three young sons in court in the case against Mossy Ford and other defendants. The accident occurred on July 31, 2006, when a tire-tread separation caused Casey Barber to lose control of his Ford E350 Sportsmobile van. Their argument revolves around a faulty tire change by Mossy Ford that the defendants claim should have taken the tire out of service.

The opposing side argued that the rollover accident was caused by an object in the roadway and not the tire-tread separation.
