Greene & Phillips, Beasley Allen Receive $8.5-Million Verdict

Beasley Allen lawyers Evan Allen, Kendall Dunson and Mike Andrews, along with Greene & Phillips, LLC lawyer Britt Bethea announced that an $8.5-million verdict was secured from a Mobile County Circuit Court jury. The jury found that the Nissan Motor Co. designed and implemented a defective front passenger airbag system causing total blindness in one eye and serious and severe injuries to the other eye. According to David Greene, founding partner of Greene & Phillips, “This verdict is all about holding automotive manufacturers responsible for profiting from unreasonably dangerous products. Unfortunately, our client had no way to know the airbag in the vehicle was defective; only Nissan knew that. We are thankful that the citizens of Mobile County, Alabama, sent a clear message that they will not stand for automotive manufacturers designing dangerous products.” The case was filed in the Circuit Court of Mobile County, Alabama, case No. CV-2020-901869.
