$105,000,000.00 – Defective Product – The settlement was reached shortly before trial, which was represented to be the largest pre-trial settlement in Georgia history. The entire settlement was paid by the Defendant manufacturer and its insurers. The product was an off-road recreational vehicle, commonly referred to as a side-by-side. Plaintiff Roe, 45, was a properly belted and helmeted passenger in a side-by-side. The driver was operating the vehicle on a u-shaped track, which consists of a series of small hills. As they crested one hill, the side-by-side’s nose dipped down, causing it to roll over onto the roll cage, which Plaintiff alleged was a foreseeable and common occurrence. The roll cage collapsed, and Plaintiff Roe was rendered quadriplegic. Plaintiff Roe sued the operator of the vehicle and the manufacturer of the side-by-side off-road vehicle. Plaintiff Roe uncovered evidence that the Defendant manufacturer marketed and sold the product despite knowing the roll cage failed their own internal strength standards and testing. (2023)
