Proven verdicts and settlements

A Marlboro County jury awarded a 62-year-old woman $30 million after her Nissan Altima rolled forward on its own while she was locked outside it, climbing a parking barrier and pinning her against a gas station building, a result her attorneys traced to metal debris fouling the transmission's forward clutch.
