Nissan Motor Co., LTD’s request for a new trial in a case where a jury awarded $1.85 million to the plaintiff was denied by U.S. District Judge Leonard Davis. The jurors found that Rebecca Perdue’s injuries were caused by a structural design defect in her Nissan Pathfinder, and not simply by the car wreck or negligence of the other drivers. In refusing the motion, Judge Davis upheld the jury’s finding. Casey Knaupp, SE Texas Record 08/19/2009 Read Article: Tyler Morning Telegraph
