Robyn Lustgarten and Michael Carney, of the Ft. Lauderdale office, obtained a Summary Judgment in a product liability case. The case involved a man idling in a Ford F-350 jacked up with a lift kit, who ran over a young girl while she had been playing in front of it. The accident led to the amputation of the Plaintiff’s leg. The truck in question had been outfitted with aftermarket parts including extended mirrors and an A-pillar gauge pod manufactured by our client. According to Plaintiff, the gauge pod obstructed the driver’s line of sight. Robyn convinced the Judge that, despite issues relating to the lack of testing and lack of safety standard compliance, the driver himself had testified that the problem was the mirrors and that only he could determine what the obstruction was.
