Judge Allows Lawsuit Against Ford to Move Forward

A federal judge has ruled that the family of a man killed in a Ford Explorer rollover accident can move forward with their lawsuit against the automaker. In an amended claim, the family alleged that Ford withheld evidence in order to settle the case at a reduced sum. Plaintiffs in the case will seek unspecified damages for deceit, an attorney for the family said. Margaret Cronin Fisk and Laurence Viele Davidson, Bloomberg 08/04/2008
