We have the right to safe products. Whether we are purchasing a toy for our child or a vehicle for our everyday commute, we should never have to wonder whether or not it is safe. When the negligence of a company or manufacturer causes harm, they need to be held accountable. Today, we are going to discuss a state Supreme Court ruling that does just that.
At Allegiance Law, we are here when you need a San Francisco product liability attorney. We will work diligently to secure the compensation you deserve.
We have learned that the California Supreme Court has denied a petition by Nissan to appeal a $25 million verdict against them over faulty brakes.

The $25 million verdicts that Nissan tried to appeal is the largest ever against them regarding a brake defect case.
The decision by the state Supreme Court upheld a lower court’s findings and is the final say in the case.
