Car Crash Suit Against GM Is Costly
A $600,372 jury verdict was awarded against General Motors in the 1969 deaths of Nash Leonard and his wife Martha after a four week trial in U S District Court. The case linked a 1972 recall of over six million Chevrolets to engine mounting concerns cited by estates attorneys. They argued engine lift caused loss of control and noted throttle linkages contributed to runaway conditions. Leonard and wife died Sept 13, 1969 in a two car crash on Interstate 93 near Bow New Hampshire. Also killed were Julietta Henderson and Virginia G Steeves in the second car. The Leonard car crossed the median and struck the other vehicle head on. The jury awarded 486281 for Nash Leonard’s death and 114091 for Martha Leonard’s death.
