Notable Case

Seatback Failure

Edward J. Luke, II vs. General Motors Corporation

On February 1, 2004, E.J. Luke was rendered a paraplegic when he was ejected from his 1995 Chevy Camero after it was first struck in the rear and then forced into oncoming traffic where it was hit a second time. As a result, E.J. Luke's seat failed rearward and the rear liftgate came open upon impact. We filed suit and alleged that the driver's seat and seat belt utilized by E.J. Luke were defective. It was also alleged that the liftgate was defective and created an open portal which allowed him to be thrown from the vehicle and suffer injury. The case settled for a confidential amount.
