Products Liability – $900,000 Verdict In Marion County, Alabama

Jeff Rickard won a $900,000 verdict for a client who lost his right arm and suffered serious leg and hip fractures in a tractor rollover accident.

The case exposed the “gray market” in which used tractors made for sale only in Japan are later imported into the U.S. without authorization of the manufacturer. Those tractors are built narrow and light to use in the rice paddies of Japan, but they do not meet U.S. safety standards.

The claims against the American company that imported and sold the “gray market” tractor were settled prior to trial for $550,000. The claims against the Japanese manufacturer were dismissed for lack of personal jurisdiction, but the claims against the American distributor for negligent failure to warn proceeded to trial and resulted in the favorable verdict.

"They took a case that others would have stayed clear of.."
I have the utmost respect for Rip Andrews and the lawyers at MRB Law. They took a case that others would have stayed clear of because the issue of state immunity was involved. Through determination and unwavering commitment they were able to a find resolution to an extremely difficult matter.

"They...brought justice to my family through a multi-million dollar verdict."
These lawyers took a complicated issue, revealed the truth in a way 12 jurors unfamiliar with the topic could understand, and brought justice to my family through a multi-million dollar verdict. They were able to relate my “invisible” medical condition to the jury better than I can to my own friends. And because of that, the jury hugged me and cried with me when it was all over. That meant more to me than any amount of money.
