UNANIMOUS DEFENSE VERDICT IN DRIVER'S LAWSUIT AGAINST MAZDA CLAIMING SEATBELT BUCKLE DEFECT
PHOENIX, ARIZONA: On September 14, 2011 (27 minutes after the case was submitted to them for deliberation), a nine-member Maricopa County Superior Court jury returned a unanimous verdict for Mazda. On August 10, 2006, then 37-year-old Hali Fields drove her 2000 Protege at 45 mph into an intersection, colliding with a Chevy pickup driven by co-defendant, Garcia Mendosa, who ran a red light. Fields sustained a traumatic brain injury and cervical and thoracic fractures. Mendosa got a ticket, but served no time and paid no fine. Plaintiff claimed her Autoliv JDC-type seatbelt buckle released in the impact allegedly because it was "false latched" by a small plastic chip from the seatbelt buckle cover that was later found inside the buckle. Plaintiffs claimed that the "chip" apparently broke off from the mouth of the buckle and dropped down inside the buckle sometime before the accident.
