Texas car crash victim suing manufactures for seat malfunction

A Texas driver is suing the manufacturer of his vehicle's seats after the seat failed to stay upright during a rollover car accident.
 
Texarkana residents Alfredo Morina and his wife, Teute Morina, have filed suit against Johnson Controls Inc. in the Bowie County District Court. The case was removed to the Texarkana Division of the Eastern District of Texas.
 
The Texas car accident occurred on Sept. 8, 2008.  Mr. Morina was driving his 2002 Ford Expedition south on Texas Boulevard in Texarkana. The Expedition was struck by another vehicle. Morina lost control of the car and it rolled over. During the rollover, the vehicle seat failed to stay upright.
 
The Morinas are claiming that the Ford Expedition was not reasonably crashworthy because the seat failed to provide proper restraint, failed to stay upright, and failed to have an inboard locking mechanism. Johnston Controls is accused of negligent design, manufacture, assembly, marketing and testing of the seat. The Morinas are seeking compensatory damages for pain and suffering, emotional distress, impairment, disfigurement, reduced capacity to enjoy life, medical expenses, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, mental anguish, loss of consortium, interest and costs of suit.
