Civ. No. 20095
Court of Appeal of California, Fourth Appellate District, Division Two
119 Cal. App. 3d 757; 174 Cal. Rptr. 348; 1981 Cal. App. LEXIS 1859; CCH Prod. Liab. Rep. P8999
May 29, 1981
SUBSEQUENT HISTORY: [***1] A petition for a rehearing was denied June 18, 1981, and the petitions of appellant Ford Motor Company and appellants Gray et al. for a hearing by the Supreme Court were denied September 10, 1981.
PRIOR HISTORY: Superior Court of Orange County, Nos. 197761, 199397, Leonard Goldstein, Judge.
DISPOSITION: The judgment in Gray v. Ford Motor Co. is affirmed.
CASE SUMMARY:
PROCEDURAL POSTURE: Appellant car manufacturer challenged an order of the Superior Court of Orange County (California), which denied its motion for a directed verdict as to punitive damages in an action for negligence and strict liability arising from an accident in which a car burst into flames. Appellee passenger cross-appealed a remittitur, while appellee estate of the deceased driver challenged denial of leave to amend its complaint to seek punitive damages.
OVERVIEW: Appellant car manufacturer challenged denial of its motion for a directed verdict and an amended trial court judgment. Appellees were the estate of the deceased driver of a Pinto car that burst into flames in an accident, and a 13-year-old passenger who was severely burned. Appellees had sued on theo-ries of negligence and strict liability, alleging that appellant knew from crash-test results about design defects in the Pinto's fuel system. Appellant assailed the judgment as a whole, assigning numerous errors and irregularities. Appellant primarily contended that the punitive damages award was statutorily unauthorized and constitutionally invalid. Appellee estate cross-appealed, claiming that the statutory bar against punitive damages in a wrongful death action was unconstitutional. The court affirmed the judgment because it was not a denial of equal protection to preclude punitive damages in a wrongful death action. Finding appellant's contentions either lacked merit or failed to demonstrate prejudice, the court held that the punitive damages award was reasonable and just, and declined to modify the judgment by reducing the amount of the remittitur.
OUTCOME: The judgment awarding punitive damages was affirmed as reduced because the reduced puni-tive damage award was reasonable and just, and was not excessive in light of its deterrent purpose, appel-lant's wealth, and the size of the compensatory awards. The court also held that a rational justification ex-isted for the legislative denial of the right to seek punitive damages for wrongful death actions.
