California Supreme Court

Michael Sean Daly, a Minor v. General Motors Corporation…

March 16, 197820 Cal. 3d 725

Summary

Justice Jefferson dissents from the majority’s decision to apply comparative negligence principles to a strict‑product‑liability action, arguing that juries cannot logically apportion fault between a plaintiff’s negligence and a defendant’s defective product. He contends that such an approach is speculative, unfair, and contrary to established product‑liability doctrine.
