Am., Inc., B218173, concerned a plaintiff's suit against an automobile manufacturer for strict liability and defective design, arising from an automobile collision which rendered him a quadriplegic, trial court's judgment for $21,654,000 against the defendants in finding stability and roof defects in the vehicle had caused plaintiff's injury.
