The Straits times: A Texas jury on Friday hit Toyota with a US$242 million (S$332 million) verdict after finding that defects in the front seats of a 2002 Lexus ES300 caused serious injuries to a Dallas family’s two young children during a rear-end collision in 2016.
The jury in state court in Dallas awarded US$144 million in punitive damages after finding Toyota Motor Corp.
and Toyota Motor Sales were grossly negligent in the matter, according to court papers.
