Jury Awards $1.5 Million to Mother in Case Against Cooper Tire
A Palm Beach County jury awarded Tavilia Pierre $1.5 Million in damages after her husband was killed in a 2005 car accident.
In 2005, her husband, Loussaint Pierre, was on his way to Georgia to work for several months as a field worker. During the trip, one of the tires suffered a tread belt separation, causing the vehicle to lose control and crash. The jury found the accident was the result of a manufacturing defect in the Cooper Tire and Rubber Company Radial XL tire, but also concluded that the tire company was only fifty percent at fault.
Loussaint Pierre was killed in the crash, leaving behind a wife and five young children who depended on him both for financial and emotional support.
Our Florida product liability attorneys handled the case on behalf of Pierre and her family.
