The Hill family was awarded $1.7 billion in 2022 but are at risk of losing it
Melvin and Voncile Hill were killed when their Ford F-250 rolled after a tire blowout in 2014. Ford says the verdict must be overturned in Georgia court. A Pep Boys service center allegedly installed incorrectly sized tires on the pickup. After a lengthy legal battle, Ford will soon learn whether or not it has to pay $1.7 billion to the family of a couple that was killed in Georgia while driving a 2002 Ford F-250 Super Duty in 2014.
The Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia will determine if Ford has a case or if it has to pay up. While the Hill family would get most of the payout, their lawyers have sought $549 million in fees and $528,684 in expenses. The original lawsuit filed against Ford said that other occupants of the brand’s trucks had been killed or injured in roughly 80 rollover crashes out of more than 5 million trucks that were manufactured.
