Revives Widow's Steering Defect Suit Against Ford | | The Sixth Circuit on Tuesday revived a widow's suit alleging Ford Motor Co.'s defective power steering device caused a crash that injured her and killed her husband, saying a Tennessee federal judge was too harsh in dismissing her complaint under the pleading requirements set by the U.S. Supreme Court's Iqbal and Twombly cases. The lower court erred in finding that plaintiff Victoria A. Jackson didn't adequately plead the alleged defect played a role in causing the fatal crash and instead relied on conclusory statements.
