A Ford door latch accident recently made the national news as the result of a law suit settlement in Texas.

According to The Associated Press, at least 16 product liability lawsuits have been filed against the automaker in which plaintiffs claimed latch failures led to fatal Ford door latch accidents that involved defective doors flying open. Many have been settled, but others are still pending.

As a result of the Ford door latch problem husbands, wives, fathers, mothers, sons and daughters may have lost loved ones or been seriously injured in an accident as a result of being thrown from vehicles equipped with Ford defective door latches. Many injured victims are now unable to care for themselves.
