A New Mexico appeals court has upheld a $165 million ruling in a wrongful death lawsuit against FedEx over a deadly crash that killed three people. The lawsuit was filed by the family of two people who died and a baby who was injured in the crash that took place outside of Las Cruces. When a jury ruled in favor of the family, FedEx filed an appeal, stating that the decision was “tainted by passion, prejudice, partiality, sympathy, undue influence, or a mistaken measure of damages.” However, the New Mexico Court of Appeals on Tuesday denied FedEx's appeal.
