A San Antonio jury issued a $124.5 million verdict against German auto manufacturer Audi AG and its parent company and distributor, Volkswagen Group of America. In a 10-2 decision this month, the jury sided with the plaintiffs who alleged that a design defect with the front seat of a 2005 Audi 4 had caused brain injuries to a child, who was seated in the back seat of a vehicle during a 2012 rear-end collision.
“What we found was horrifying,” said Joe Dunn of Wigington Rumley Dunn & Blair in Corpus Christi. Dunn, along with his partner Jeff Wigington, and Fidel Rodriguez Jr. and Manuel Maltos from the Law Offices of Fidel Rodriguez Jr. in San Antonio, represents the parents of the injured child in Rivera v. Cordova in the 73rd District Court in Bexar County.
