Los Angeles Superior Court
CPM represents a young woman who was struck in the head by a seven-foot-long, 15-pound steel tube while driving her car. The steel tube was designed and assembled by Navistar as part of an exhaust system on a heavy-duty truck. The truck was travelling on the highway at highway speeds when the steel tube dislodged and became airborne, due to a design defect of the exhaust system. The tube crashed through Plaintiff’s windshield and struck her head, causing severe brain damage.
