He was an avid bowler and golfer. 30 There is a likelihood that the heirs would share in the personal representative's recovery of such damages. She taught in the Sherburne area and was a substitute teacher in the LaFayette Central School District. [119 Cal.App.3d 778] The fact that two of the crash tests were run at the request of the Ford Chassis and Vehicle Engineering Department for the specific purpose of demonstrating the advisability of moving the fuel tank over the axle as a possible "fix" further corroborated Mr. Copp's testimony that management knew the results of the crash tests. One was a statistical study from an accident data bank maintained by the state patrol of the State of Washington. The 1961 legislation thus created two classes of heirs in wrongful death actions: (1) Heirs whose decedent had a claim for punitive damages at death and (2) heirs whose decedent died without a surviving claim for such damages. 1961 Sharon Parker Friese (2016) 1961 Pete Reed. The record discloses that Mr. Copp testified only briefly concerning the circumstances of his early retirement from Ford but that on cross-examination [119 Cal.App.3d 788] Ford engaged in extensive questioning to show that the reason for his termination was not his safety views but unsatisfactory work and absenteeism. 31-32) The jury in the present case could reasonably infer that defendants acted in callous disregard of plaintiffs' rights, knowing that their conduct was substantially certain to vex, annoy, and injure plaintiffs. In Foglio, we held that an instruction permitting the jury in a strict products liability case to consider industry custom or practice in determining whether a design defect existed constituted error. The order, however, is reviewable on an appeal from the final judgment in the action. He was born in Watertown, NY to George and Harriet (Samuels) Grimshaw and honorably served in the U. S. Air Force. Co., 24 Cal.3d 809, 820, 157 Cal.Rptr. He lost portions of several fingers on his left [119 Cal.App.3d 774] hand and portions of his left ear, while his face required many skin grafts from various portions of his body. Followed to its logical conclusion, it would mean that punitive damages could never be assessed against a manufacturer of a mass produced article. (Id., at pp. 622, 523 P.2d 662; Silberg v. California Life Ins. The contention mistakes the significance of Klopstock, supra, 17 Cal.2d 13, 108 P.2d 906. Ushering the ferociously cynical Dan Mazer (responsible for the Borat and Bruno screenplays) into the cozily smug stable of U.K. rom-com standard-bearer Working Title (home to Richard Curtis and Hugh Grant) was bound to result in a union as knotty as that of the films incompatible newlywed protagonists. RICHARD GRIMSHAW OBITUARY GRIMSHAWRICHARD L., JR. January 26, 2017. Tests conducted by Ford on other vehicles, including modified or reinforced mechanical Pinto prototypes, proved safe at speeds at which the Pinto failed. 488-489, 492-493. Here, the judge referred to the evidence bearing on those factors in his new trial order and obviously weighed it in deciding what was a "fair and reasonable" award. In 1981 The California Supreme Court turned down Grimshaw's bid to have the original award restored, but also refused Ford's appeal. Viewed in this way, the salient question for this appeal becomes whether the instruction given by the court resulted in a miscarriage of, A judgment may not be set aside on the ground the jury was misdirected unless reviewing court, after an examination of the entire cause, including the evidence, shall be of the opinion that the error resulted in a miscarriage of justice. (Barker v. Lull Engineering Co., supra, 20 Cal.3d 413, 435, 143 Cal.Rptr. 416; Barth v. B. F. Goodrich, 265 Cal.App.2d 228, 240-241, 71 Cal.Rptr. These engineering assumptions were developed from limited vehicle crash test data and design and development work. Ford cites questions propounded during cross-examination of Mr. Kennedy, Mr. Tubben and Ford's carburetor expert. WORCESTER - Richard R. Grimshaw, 60, of 1350 Main Street died Thursday, January 30 in St. Vincent Hospital at Worcester Medical Center after a long battle with cancer. Richard M. "Rich" Giacopasi June 24, 1970 . ", 9 The Barker court held "that a trial judge may properly instruct the jury that a product is defective in design (1) if the plaintiff demonstrates that the product failed to perform as safely as an ordinary consumer would expect when used in an intended or reasonably foreseeable manner, or (2) if the plaintiff proves that the product's design proximately caused his injury and the defendant fails to prove, in light of the relevant factors discussed above, that on balance the benefits of the challenged design outweigh the risk of danger inherent in such design." 252, 258, 193 P. This means you can view content but cannot create content. IN THE CARE OF. Ford also conducted the tests to see if the Pinto as designed would meet a proposed federal regulation requiring all automobiles manufactured in 1972 to be able to withstand a 20-mile-per-hour fixed barrier impact without significant fuel spillage and all automobiles manufactured after January 1, 1973, to withstand a 30-mile-per-hour fixed barrier impact without significant fuel spillage. Lilly Gray, the driver of the Pinto, suffered fatal burns and 13-year-old Richard Grimshaw, a passenger in the Pinto, suffered severe and permanently disfiguring burns on his face and entire body. Plaintiffs' counsel argued that the question was proper because the witness had interjected statistics reportedly based on field performances and government reports to defend Pinto's performance but conceded he should have approached the bench and obtained a ruling before he asked the question. Shortly after this lane change, the Pinto suddenly stalled and coasted to a halt in the middle lane. Although the Toole formulation of the rule used the expression "possible results," those words were preceded by the pejoratives "wilful," "intentional" and "reckless disregard." At an April 1971 product review meeting chaired by Mr. MacDonald, those present received and discussed a report (Exhibit 125) prepared by Ford engineers pertaining to the financial impact of a proposed federal standard on fuel system integrity and the cost savings which would accrue from deferring even minimal "fixes." 218; Pease v. Beech Aircraft Corp., 38 Cal.App.3d 450, 465, 113 Cal.Rptr. & Prof.Code, 13800 et seq. (Id., at p. 279, 109 Cal.Rptr. Pursuant to stipulation that sums previously received by plaintiffs from others should be deducted from the amounts awarded by the jury, the judgment was modified to reflect compensatory damages in favor of Grimshaw for $2,516,000 and in favor of the Grays for $559,680.

Accueil Uncategorized While an expert may state on direct examination the matters on which he relied in forming his opinion, he may not testify as to the [119 Cal.App.3d 789] details of such matters if they are otherwise inadmissible. (People v. La Macchia, supra, 41 Cal.2d 738, 264 P.2d 15.) Mr. Harley Copp, a former Ford engineering executive, was plaintiffs' principal witness on the subject of defects in the design, placement, and protection of the Pinto's gas tank and on Ford management's[119 Cal.App.3d 780] decision to place the car on the market with knowledge of the defects. The expert invites investigation into the extent of his knowledge, the reasons for his opinion including facts and other matters upon which it is based (Code Civ.Proc., 1872), and which he took into consideration; and he may be " subjected to the most rigid cross examination" concerning his qualifications, and his opinion and its sources (citation omitted).' In the instant case, the record shows that in at least three of the instances cited by Ford, it made no objection on the ground now asserted on appeal. Because this classification was the result of legislative action, it is an appropriate classification for equal protection analyses. " 'When an issue is tried on affidavits and where there is substantial conflict in the facts stated, a determination of the controverted facts by the trial court will not be disturbed.' The case was based on allegations that Ford deliberately fitted Pintos with poorly designed gas tanks that burst even upon light impact in order to save productions costs of $10 to $50 per car. 237. 13 The 1980 revision of BAJI uses the expression "conscious disregard of the plaintiff's rights." Ford's reliance on Self v. General Motors Corp., 42 Cal.App.3d 1, 116 Cal.Rptr. Ford contends admission into evidence over its objection of a report known as the "Chiara memorandum" (Plaintiffs' Exhibit No. Nor does "(t)he fact that an award may set a precedent by its size" in and of itself render it suspect; whether the award was excessive must be assessed by examining the circumstances of the particular case. (People v. Sweeney, 55 Cal.2d 27, 39, 9 Cal.Rptr. In addition, the court felt that the admission of the evidence would confuse the jury and would result in undue consumption of time. 433, 501 P.2d 1153.) ", "In determining whether or not the Pinto automobile was defectively designed, you may consider, among other relevant factors, the gravity of the danger posed by the challenged design, the likelihood that such danger would occur, the mechanical feasibility of a safer alternative design, the financial cost of an improved design, the adverse consequences to the product and to the consumer that would result from an alternative design, the extent to which its design and manufacture matched the average quality of other automobiles and the extent to which its design and manufacture deviated from the norm for automobiles designed and manufactured at the same point in time. [119 Cal.App.3d 829] Since the 1961 amendments to the survival and wrongful death statutes, our courts have reaffirmed the long-standing view that the wrongful death statute does not permit recovery of exemplary damages. v. Ford Motor Company is affirmed. Besides his parents he was preceded in death by his daughter, Shannon Rae Grimshaw Ingram; one sister, Teresa Grimshaw; three brothers, Steve Grimshaw, David Grimshaw and Kenny Grimshaw; three grandchildren, Lauren Elizabeth Grimshaw, Tory Walker Ingram and Vanessa Shae Ingram. 82) was error. 917; Lemer v. Boise Cascade, Inc., 107 Cal.App.3d 1, 7, 165 Cal.Rptr. 75, 557 P.2d 507; Earley v. Pacific Electric Ry. It recommended adoption of Probate Code section 573, 23 which expressly provided for the survival of a cause of action for punitive or exemplary damages. 1862, ch. The trial court, however, was in the best position to evaluate the effect of the misconduct. Thus, the Klopstock rationale is inapposite to the validity of the trial court's order denying the Grays' motion to amend the wrongful death cause of action to seek punitive damages. Although I agree with the ultimate disposition of each issue, I am unable to subscribe en toto to those portions of the opinion relating to Copp's testimony concerning the reasons for his termination by Ford, the alleged violations of the order in limine, and the design defect instructions. 858, 532 P.2d 1226. As the court noted, the code itself provides that insofar as its provisions are substantially the same as the common law, they should be construed as continuations thereof and not as new enactments (Civ.Code, 4, 5), and thus the code has been imbued "with admirable flexibility from the standpoint of adaptation to changing circumstances and conditions." It is not our function as a reviewing court to reweigh the evidence, resolve conflicting evidence and inferences, or to judge the credibility of the witnesses.

As the project approached actual production, the engineers responsible for the components of the project "signed off" to their immediate supervisors who in turn "signed off" to their superiors and so on up the chain of command until the entire project was approved for public release by Vice Presidents Alexander and MacDonald and ultimately by Mr. Iacocca. When you click on a listing you will enter the loved one's online memorial. Ford's Product Planning Committee, whose members included Mr. Iacocca, Mr. Robert Alexander, and Mr. Harold MacDonald, Ford's Group Vice President of Car Engineering, approved the Pinto's concept and made the decision to go forward with the project. There were sufficient bases for the court's implied determination that the questions were not asked in bad faith and that the admonitions to the jury would avoid the harmful effect of the questions. Those precepts perforce are applicable to a civil case. Grimshaw, who now lives in Anaheim, Calif., has undergone more than 50 operations to repair burn damage. 1836 - Republic of Texas declares independence from Mexico. 3 Plaintiffs settled with the other defendants before and during trial; the case went to verdict only against Ford Motor Company. The instructions on malice manifestly referred to conduct constituting conscious and callous disregard of a substantial likelihood of injury to others and not to innocent conduct by the manufacturer. Plaintiffs' counsel thereupon asked the witness whether he acknowledged that the following statement appeared in a governmental report: "On each occasion the Ford Pinto gas tank buckled and gas spewed forth. If you know of an upcoming event for Richard A. Grimshaw, please add one. Thank you. Because Ford does not contest the amount of compensatory damages awarded to Grimshaw and the Grays, no purpose would be served by further description of the injuries suffered by Grimshaw or the damages sustained by the Grays. Thank you. (Evid.Code, 352, 355; see Conservatorship of Buchanan, 78 Cal.App.3d 281, 289, 144 Cal.Rptr. (Aceves v. Regal Pale Brewing Co., supra, 24 Cal.3d 502, 507, 156 Cal.Rptr. Ford contends that one of its defenses to the claims based on the design of the fuel tank and its location and protection was that the impact speed was so great that the fuel tank rupture and fire would have occurred without regard to the location and protection of the fuel tank. 553, 413 P.2d 153, disapproved on other grounds, Neel v. Magana, Olney, Levy, Cathcart & Gelfand, 6 Cal.3d 176, 190-191, 98 Cal.Rptr. Our role, however, is limited to determining whether the trial judge's action constituted a manifest and unmistakable abuse of discretion. ", "In determining whether the automobile involved in this case was defective, you may consider (the extent to which) (whether) its design and manufacture matched the average quality of other and (the extent to which) (whether) its design and manufacture deviated from the norm for automobiles designed and manufactured at the same point in time.". . 476; People v. Nahabedian, 171 Cal.App.2d 302, 310-311, 340 P.2d 1053.) 389, 582 P.2d 980), different considerations bear upon the adequacy of the reasons where the amount of punitive rather than compensatory damages is the primary concern. 341, 355-356, 257 P. 64, disapproved on other grounds in People v. Marsh, 58 Cal.2d 732, 746, 26 Cal.Rptr. 56.). "Closely following the publication of the Mother Jones article, a jury in Orange County, Calif., awarded Richard Grimshaw $125 million in punitive damages for injuries he sustained while a passenger in a 1971 Pinto which was struck by another car at an impact speed of 28MPH and burst into flames. Co., supra, 61 Cal.2d 602, 610, 39 Cal.Rptr. "(b) An employer shall not be liable for damages pursuant to subdivision (a), based upon acts of an employee of the employer, unless the employer had advance knowledge of the unfitness of the employee and employed him or her with a conscious disregard of the rights or safety of others or authorized or ratified the wrongful conduct for which the damages are awarded or was personally guilty of oppression, fraud, or malice.

It may well be a medical rarity for death to occur simultaneously with the infliction of a death-causing injury. [119 Cal.App.3d 833] The question is whether the statute is discriminatory because it denies the right to seek such damages to the class of heirs of which the Grays are members. " (Id., at p. 108, 95 Cal.Rptr. Ford complains that the punitive award is far greater than the maximum penalty that may be imposed under California or federal law prohibiting the sale of defective automobiles or other products. For example, Ford notes that California statutes provide a maximum fine of only $50 for the first offense and $100 for a second offense for a dealer who sells an automobile that fails to conform to federal safety laws or is not equipped with required lights or brakes (Veh.Code, 24007, 24250 et seq. An award which is so small that it can be simply written off as a part of the cost of doing business would have no deterrent effect. 691; Pease v. Beech Aircraft Corp., supra, 38 Cal.App.3d 450, 461-462, 113 Cal.Rptr. The court referred to the fact that numerous California decisions have recognized this fact by making it clear "(t)hat a product may be found defective in design even if it satisfies ordinary consumer expectations, if through hindsight the jury determines that the product's design embodies 'excessive preventable danger,' or, in other words, if the jury finds that the risk of danger inherent in the challenged design outweighs the benefits of such design." Ford attempts to minimize the precedential force of the foregoing decisions on the ground they failed to address the position now advanced by Ford that intent to harm a particular person or persons is required because that was what the lawmakers had in mind in 1872 when they adopted Civil Code section 3294. Here, the judge, exercising his independent judgment on the evidence, determined that a punitive award of 3 1/2 million dollars was "fair and reasonable." den. 6 The record reveals that Ford's motion to require plaintiffs to disclose the identity of any "disgruntled" former Ford employee whom they intended to call was triggered by plaintiffs' motion for the identity of the person who developed a federal governmental report on which Ford purported to base a press release concerning the safety of the Pinto. There need not be a pending action at the time of death; it is sufficient that the claim arose before death. Ford argues that to instruct the jury so that they might find "malice" if any such "possibility" existed was erroneous; it maintains that an instruction on "malice" in products liability must contain the phrase "conscious disregard of (the probability/a high probability) of injury to others," in order to preclude prejudicial error. tim 90 day fiance weird body; randy jackson leaky gut diet; golang optional return value; james jeffries obituary; sunderland echo obituaries.

Search Archived Obituaries: Richard Grimshaw Wood Funeral Time: Saturday, November 27th at 2:30PM WOOD, Richard Grimshaw, Cdr. 1221, 1256-1257.) The trial court, however, did not base its decision solely on the ratio of punitive to compensatory. Ford argues that although there was evidence that the corporate headquarters of Ford was referred to as the "glass house" there was no evidence of management meetings held there in connection with the Pinto design. (Bardessono v. Michels, 3 Cal.3d 780, 794, 91 Cal.Rptr. 10-11, 116 Cal.Rptr. 276; Code Civ.Proc., 2019, subd. [119 Cal.App.3d 813] The power to grant such a motion is identical to the power to grant a directed verdict; the judge cannot weigh the evidence or assess the credibility of witnesses; if the evidence is conflicting or if several reasonable inferences may be drawn, the motion should be denied; the motion may be granted ' " 'only if it appears from the evidence, viewed in the light most favorable to the party securing the verdict, that there is no substantial evidence to support the verdict.' Ford contends that Grimshaw's counsel committed prejudicial misconduct in referring to Ford's executives meeting in the "glass house" and deciding to approve the Pinto's fuel tank design with knowledge that it was unsafe and would result in the loss of many lives. A production Pinto crash tested at 21-miles-per-hour into a fixed barrier caused the fuel neck to be torn from the gas tank and the tank to be punctured by a bolt head on the differential housing. On Saturday, January 4, 2014, Richard William Grimshaw passed away just a few weeks shy of his 70th birthday. He will be missed by many other family members and friends. Second, Ford's argument that use of the word "defect" in the instruction given by the court permitted the jury to conclude that if it found that a defective carburetor was a substantial factor in causing the fire, the other alleged defects relating to location of the fuel tank and the rear structure of the car were then also substantial causes of the fire is such a strained and obscure interpretation that it could not have been indulged by any reasonable juror. To plant a beautiful memorial tree in memory of Richard E. Grimshaw, Sr., please visit our Tree Store. It is precisely because monetary penalties under government regulations prescribing business standards or the criminal law are so inadequate and ineffective as deterrents against a manufacturer and distributor of mass produced defective products that punitive damages must be of sufficient amount to discourage such practices. (Cal.Const., art. Ford's self-evaluation of its conduct is based on a review of the evidence most favorable to it instead of on the basis of the evidence most favorable to the judgment. Please provide as much information as possible. Co., 11 Cal.3d 452, 462, 113 Cal.Rptr. In the ensuing analysis (ad nauseam) of Ford's wideranging assault on the judgment, we have concluded that Ford has failed to demonstrate that any errors or irregularities occurred during the trial which resulted in a miscarriage of justice requiring reversal. Ford also contends that its offer to prove that Mr. Freers, Ford's chief light car engineer, purchased a Pinto for his family when the Pinto first went on the market was erroneously refused. Based on these estimates, it is recommended that the addition of the flak suit/bladder be delayed on all affected cars until 1976. The Barker court referred to the two standards for evaluating design defect as "alternative tests" and in its suggested instruction phrased the tests in the disjunctive. 15, p. 220) provided that "in every such action, the jury may give such damages, pecuniary and exemplary, as they shall deem fair and just, " (Stats. Procedure (2d ed.) 5 Whether continuing interrogatories were then even proper in California appears to have been an open question. Ford argues that the study was irrelevant because it pertained to an entirely different car to be built four years later. (Neal v. Farmers Ins. (Nov. 26, 1980); Umansky v. Urquhart, 84 Cal.App.3d 368, 372, 148 Cal.Rptr. It is true that our Supreme Court in Justus v. Atchison, 19 Cal.3d 564, 571-575, 139 Cal.Rptr. A party can be compelled to identify the experts whom he contemplates calling as witnesses and such experts may, upon good cause shown, be deposed by the other party. The anomaly of a wrongdoer being subject to punitive damages if he causes injury but not if he causes death was substantially ameliorated by the 1961 legislation providing for survival of punitive damage claims. of Motor Vehicles, 51 Cal.App.2d 753, 758, 125 P.2d 521.) Grief Support. 678; Fletcher v. Western National Life Ins. Indeed, as we noted in the Grimshaw section of this opinion, commentators have criticized use of the ratio of exemplary to compensatory damages as a factor for consideration in assessing the propriety of an exemplary damage award and have recommended its abandonment. Ford argues that the jury should have been instructed that plaintiff had the burden of proving "malice" by "clear and convincing evidence." When our laws were codified in 1872, the doctrine was incorporated in Civil Code section 3294, which at the time of trial read: "In an action for the breach of an obligation not arising from contract, where the defendant has been guilty of oppression, fraud, or malice, express or implied, the plaintiff, in addition to the actual damages, may recover damages. Such conduct constitutes corporate malice. 786, 520 P.2d 10.) There was evidence that Ford could have corrected the hazardous design defects at minimal cost but decided to defer correction of the shortcomings by engaging in a cost-benefit analysis balancing human lives and limbs against corporate profits. The Pinto crash tests results had been forwarded up the chain of command to the ultimate decision-makers and were known to the Ford officials who decided to go forward with production. A 1972 Ford Pinto hatchback automobile unexpectedly stalled on a freeway, erupting into flames when it was rear ended by a car proceeding in the same direction. Mr. Kennedy, who succeeded Mr. Copp as the engineer in charge of Ford's crash testing program, admitted that the test results had been forwarded up the chain of command to his superiors. 416.) 2023 SCI SHARED RESOURCES, LLC. Although a design cost provision of $(8) per affected vehicle has been made in 1976 program levels to cover contingencies, it is hoped that cost reductions can be achieved, or the need for any flak suit or bladder eliminated after further engineering development. It is the ultimate cautionary tale of corporate greed. Such examination "should not be limited by narrow and stringent rules." If the party elects to call the expert as a witness, the opposing party should be granted a reasonable time within which to conduct appropriate additional discovery. In addition, most of the matters to which Mr. Copp referred were within his personal knowledge and experience. He was a fair guitar player and a music lover. It has been said that interrogatories should not be permitted to be used as a trap "pinning a party for all times to an answer intended to reflect. Copyright Currentobituary.com, Your source for online obituaries and funeral notices. Ford complains that while Exhibit No. A ruling correct in law will not be disturbed on appeal simply because given for a wrong reason; if right on any applicable theory of law, it must be sustained. For all of the reasons stated in our opinion on Ford's appeal from the Grimshaw judgment, Ford's attacks upon the Grays' judgment must fail. Those were proper considerations for determining whether the award was excessive as a matter of law. "An attorney is permitted to argue all reasonable inferences from the evidence, " (Brokopp v.
