Jury Awards $35 Million in WaveRunner Collision

A jury has found Yamaha responsible for a 2005 WaveRunner accident that killed a 14-year-old girl. The jury awarded about $35 million to her parents and her best friend who was also injured in the crash. The jury found that Yamaha Motor Corp. USA failed to correct steering problems with the water craft and then failed to warn people of the hazards created by the failure.

This is another example of a large company putting profits above consumer safety. The only way that this girl's parents could hold the company accountable was through a jury trial.
