Richard v. Firestone Tire & Rubber Co.
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Decided September 7, 1988No. 87-4815PublishedCited by 39 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
W. EUGENE DAVIS, Circuit Judge:
Both parties to this product liability action are disappointed with the verdict rendered in this case and appeal. The suit followed Richard’s injury that occurred when a Firestone tire rim separated while he was mounting the tire on a truck. Firestone complains of the jury finding that it failed to warn of danger to workmen assembling or mounting tires equipped with its multi-piece rims. Richard complains of the reduction in his award based on the jury’s finding that his fault was ninety percent responsible for the accident. We find no error and affirm.
