Faulty Seatbelt Case Against Mitsubishi
A jury in Pennsylvania awarded approximately $980 million to a plaintiff in a faulty seatbelt case filed against Mitsubishi. The case was brought forward following a rollover involving a 1992 Mitsubishi 3000GT. The incident occurred in November 2017 in Buckingham Township, PA. The complaint alleges that the seat belt design was defective and did not prevent the motorist from being crushed or partially ejected in a rollover accident. The driver’s side seat belt allegedly failed to properly restrain the motorist during the rollover in 2017, causing the plaintiff to suffer a catastrophic spinal cord injury.
