The tires are bald, the brake pads wore out sometime last year and you’ve got about six inches of play in the steering wheel. Rounding a corner, your front tire finally gives up the ghost and blows out. Unable to turn, the last thing you remember before waking up in a wheelchair is that big old live oak tree looming in your windshield. Because you live in Florida and know that product liability laws favor the plaintiff, you decide to sue the manufacturer of your automobile.
