Firestone Tires

Mary Pat Ellis of the Lagarde Law Firm was part of a team of lawyers that recently defeated Ford Motor Company in a product liability lawsuit involving the Ford Explorer Rollover and Firestone Tires. A Fort Myers, Florida, federal jury awarded a victim’s family $5.3 million in compensatory damages and was considering punitive damages when lawyers for the family and Ford settled the case for an undisclosed amount. The family of Bob Miller, who was 57 when he died, filed the suit. Miller was on his way home from his roofing job and was wearing his seat belt and a hard hat when a tire lost its tread. He lost control of the Ford Explorer and it rolled over. The lead attorneys were Richard Denney from Norman, Oklahoma, and Marcus Viles from the Viles & Ellis firm in Ft. Myers.
