Description
On May 12, 1983, a jury, after finding decedent fifty percent negligent, awarded plaintiff $150,000 in this design defect products liability case. A judgment along with $58,878.96 in interest was entered on July 22, 1983. On November 4, 1985, the trial court denied defendants' renewed motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict or in the alternative for a new trial and a motion for a directed verdict. Defendants appeal this decision as of right. We affirm. On the morning of December 12, 1977, when Detroit Fire Fighter Michael L. Johnson was killed, the fire truck he was riding in departed an old Detroit Fire Department firehouse located on Milwaukee in the City of Detroit. Johnson was assigned to operate the tiller cab of the three-axle firefighting vehicle. The tiller cab was a raised enclosure on the back of the aerial ladder fire truck from which Johnson steered the back end of the vehicle around corners. On the day of the incident, as this fire truck left the firehouse, Johnson's head was caught in a pinchpoint between an overhead ceiling beam and the back end of the tiller cab roof. The impact broke Johnson's neck, causing his instantaneous death.
