Daniel Sherry

A Philadelphia jury awarded roughly $976.5 million, including $800 million in punitive damages, after the rip-stitch seat belt in Francis Amagasu's 1992 Mitsubishi 3000GT tore during a rollover and left him quadriplegic. Daniel Sherry Jr., Nancy Winkler, and Jessica Colliver tried the case for the firm then known as Eisenberg, Rothweiler, Winkler, Eisenberg & Jeck, with co-counsel Kyle Farrar and Wes Ball of Houston's Kaster Lynch Farrar & Ball. On December 22, 2025 the Pennsylvania Superior Court vacated the judgment, which had grown to over $1 billion with delay damages, and ordered a new trial over the jury instructions. The retrial had not yet taken place as of this writing.

A Philadelphia jury found that a defectively designed seat belt in a 1999 Acura Integra left driver Carlos Martinez a quadriplegic after a rollover on Interstate 70 near Baltimore, and awarded him and his wife $55,325,714. Stewart J. Eisenberg and Daniel J. Sherry Jr., then of Eisenberg, Rothweiler, Winkler, Eisenberg & Jeck (now Eisenberg Winkler Jeck Schwartz Schoenhaus & Sherry), tried the case against Honda. The trial court denied Honda's post-trial motions and entered judgment on the full verdict plus $2,066,002 in delay damages, a molded judgment of $57,391,716. Honda appealed, arguing that a Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision handed down while its post-trial motion was pending had rewritten the state's products liability standard. On April 19, 2017, the Pennsylvania Superior Court rejected every argument Honda raised and affirmed.
