Ford Motor Company v. Knecht

Summary

The court affirmed the rulings rejecting Ford's challenges based on causation and an allegedly inconsistent verdict. It held that the Superior Court applied the wrong measure when reviewing whether the compensatory damages verdict was excessive, because it considered Ford's percentage-reduced share rather than the jury's total damages award. The court remanded for reconsideration of Ford's motion for a new trial or remittitur based on the $40,625,000 compensatory damages verdict.
