Seeger Weiss Serves on Plaintiffs' Law Committee in Class Action Seeking Recall of Firestone Tires Equipped on Ford Explorers
Seeger Weiss represented Firestone tire owners and purchasers of Ford Explorers equipped with certain models of Firestone tires. Plaintiffs sought damages flowing from design defects that resulted in severe, life-threatening accidents. Specifically, the consumer class sought a tire recall, recovery for the cost of tire replacement, and recovery for the diminution in the value of Ford Explorer vehicles resulting from the subject design defects. Following the filing of a number of federal class actions, the litigations were transferred for pre-trial proceedings to the Federal court in Indianapolis. In those coordinated actions, Seeger Weiss served as a member of the Plaintiffs' Law Committee. Following extensive discovery and motion practice, plaintiffs recently achieved a favorable nationwide settlement of their class claims.
