Rollover Auto Accident

On February 16, 2008, a jury in Fresno County rendered a verdict in the amount of $1,490,000.00 for the family members of two teens who died in a rollover accident. Unfortunately there were a number of teens in a vehicle when one teen as a joke reached over and grabbed the steering wheel from the driver causing the vehicle to go out of control. The vehicle rolled over many times landing in an open field. Two teenagers were ejected from the car and died. The family members alleged that the driver was intoxicated and was driving at an excessive speed. The defendants argued that the two teenagers who died were comparatively at fault because they were not wearing seatbelts.
