Ford Motor Co. has settled two lawsuits in Georgia that elicited record-setting, billion-dollar jury verdicts, ending more than a decade of litigation about the roof strength of its Super Duty trucks. The company was found liable in the deaths of two Georgia couples and ordered to pay $1.7 billion and $2.5 billion, respectively, to their families. Both cases were still being litigated. Georgia attorney James "Jim" Butler, who led the cases against Ford, declined to comment Monday. Both lawsuits officially ended Friday, case filings show. The court documents do not reveal the settlement terms. A Ford representative did not immediately respond to questions about the cases. With these two verdicts, Ford held the dubious honor of having two of the three highest verdicts in the state. The company lobbied Gov. Brian Kemp for limits on jury awards, calling the $1.7 billion verdict "outrageous" during a roundtable discussion in October.
