The Plaintiff's trial Team included paralegals Cathy Huff and Beth Telgenhoff and Beth Glen of Butler Prather.
Key Points:
- The Plaintiff's trial Team included paralegals Cathy Huff and Beth Telgenhoff and Beth Glen of Butler Prather.
- The State was wholly uninvolved in the case until it filed a motion to intervene in the appeal by Autoliv to the Eleventh Circuit.
- The settlement leaves in place the Court's Order finding the Autoliv seatbelt defective and finding Autoliv's conduct demonstrated a conscious indifference to consequences.
- Because Autoliv turned down an offer to resolve the case for $9.5 million in 2015, prejudgment interest of $4,734,349.55 was added to the judgment.
