Miller v. Ford Motor Company

The Miller family was out for a Sunday drive in their Ford Escort with eleven year-old twins James and Richard seat-belted in the back seat. Another vehicle crossed over into their lane and hit the Miller's Escort head on. Because the rear seats were equipped with "lap-only" Seat Belts, James died at the scene and Richard was rendered paraplegic.

Molitor v. Honda, et. al.

In one of the first three wheel "All Terrain Vehicle" cases to receive national attention, nine-year old Wendy Molitor was paralyzed when she fell off an ATV on which she was riding as a passenger. The settlement was reported to be the largest for a case of its kind, and the United States Department of Justice credited The McClellan Law Firm with being instrumental in getting the three-wheel All Terrain Vehicles banned from sale in the United States.

Cusimano v. Honda

Pacific Landmark vs San Diego Unified Port District

This lawsuit was brought on behalf of the owners and developers of the Marriott Hotel in San Diego for the delay in the construction of the San Diego Convention Center. The Convention Center was to be located next to the Marriott and its delay caused the hotel to lose business that it otherwise would have had if the Convention Center had been completed on time. The Port of San Diego paid $11,325,880 to settle the case. Other defendants, including the architects of the Convention Center, settled for confidential amounts.

Sudden Acceleration

In this story on KNSD news, Craig McClellan discusses the dangerous phenomenon known as "sudden acceleration." In those cases, certain vehicles suffer from mechanical and design defects that cause them to suddenly lurch forward without the driver depressing the gas pedal or otherwise doing a thing. The automotive industry denies the condition and typically blames the driver. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has recently opened investigations into several vehicles particularly prone to this defect.
