Mansur
Mansur v. Ford Motor Co.
Opinion
Lead Opinion
Miller, J.
Plaintiffs and appellants, Mohammad Mansur, individually and as successor in interest for the estate of Omeedeh Mansur, and Arman Mansur and Artemis Mansur, minors (collectively referred to as Plaintiffs), sued Ford Motor Company (Ford) and Drew Ford for (1) strict product liability; (2) negligence; and (3) breach of implied and express warranties. The lawsuit emanated from a fatal car accident. Omeedeh Mansur (Omeedeh) died after the Ford Explorer she was riding in rolled over. A jury returned a verdict in favor of the defense. The trial court awarded Ford and Drew Ford their costs, in the amount of $432,968.03.
Plaintiffs raise three contentions. First, Plaintiffs assert the trial court erred by not instructing the jury on the topic of the “consumer expectations test.” (See Judicial Council of Cal., Civ. Jury Instns. (2011) CACI No. 1203.) Second, Plaintiffs contend the trial court erred by removing Juror No. 10. Third, Plaintiffs assert the trial court erred in several evidentiary rulings. We affirm the judgment.
