Notable Case

Defective Tire & SUV Rollover

Charles Eric Dudley v. Ford Motor Company, Bridgestone/Firestone, Inc. et. al.

On June 15, 2000, Eric Dudley, 8 years of age, received a traumatic brain injury when the 1997 Ford Explorer in which he was riding rolled over after the right rear tire’s tread separated. We filed suit and alleged that the Firestone Wilderness AT tire on the vehicle was defective and that its failure contributed to the crash injuring Eric Dudley. It was also alleged that the Ford Explorer itself was inherently unstable, and uncontrollable when the tire failed. The case settled for a confidential amount.
