Huie attorneys Tom Bazemore, Morgan Turner, and Mary Beth Duckett Brown recently secured a defense verdict for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (“FCA”), an automotive manufacturing client, in a product liability trial in Missouri. The product liability lawsuit arose from a two-vehicle crash, which included a 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan that rear-ended another vehicle. Plaintiffs alleged that the Dodge Grand Caravan was defective and unreasonably dangerous for failing to be equipped with Forward Collision Warning (“FCW”) and Automatic Emergency Braking (“AEB”) systems, which Plaintiffs alleged would have prevented the collision. This was the first Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (“ADAS”) case tried by FCA.
