    Honda has agreed to a confidential settlement of a case involving a Honda Acura Integra. An oncoming motorist
    operating her vehicle on the wrong side of the road at 35 mph struck the Integra in an offset frontal collision,
    causing the front structure to give way and the steering column to intrude into the survivor space. The steering
    column struck the driver of the Integra in the chest, causing a cervical fracture which caused his death. Plaintiff
    claimed that the intrusion of the steering column was excessive. Raymond Bodiford represented the plaintiff.

    Auto accident brain injury results in $600K recovery

    In this case, a 23 year old man suffered moderate brain damage after the van that he was a passenger in was
    struck from behind by a dump truck. The speed of the impact was less than 15 mph, but he was struck in the head
    by flying debris. Although the injured party was able to function in daily life, with some mild memory impairments, we

    Drivers airbag fails to deploy when the airbag sensor is knocked off in a Dodge
    Intrepid

    At mediation, DaimlerChrysler agreed to settle a case involving a 1997 Dodge Intrepid. The airbag in the Intrepid
    failed to deploy when the vehicle was hit on the driver’s side by an at-fault driver. The impact was more of a side
    swipe but the driver’s sensor was knocked off in the collision. DaimlerChrysler, who had removed the black box,
    argued that the airbag system was damaged in a prior accident. Raymond Bodiford represented the plaintiff.  

    Ford Explorer rollover resulting in death yields large settlement

    Ford has agreed to settle a rollover case involving a 1996 Ford Explorer. The Explorer rolled over, resulting in the
    ejection of three of the four occupants. Plaintiff alleged that the Explorer should never roll over based on the
    steering inputs only. The driver, who was killed, apparently fell asleep but the vehicle rolled over completely on the
    roadway surface. The three other occupants did survive, with incapacitating injuries. Ford argues that the
    occupants were not seat belted at the time of the accident. Raymond Bodiford and Todd Copeland represented the
    plaintiffs.

    We have found that not only the Ford Explorer rolls over in foreseeable emergency handling situations. Other
    SUVs do this as well! In 1995, we successfully handled an SUV rollover resulting in a multimillion dollar
    resolution/structured settlement for a 19 year old young man who was paralyzed. We continue to work on the
    Bronco II problem, which was the predecessor to the Explorer and Firestone problems
