Defect Victims

Trish McCloud

Trish McCloud was riding on the back of a motorcycle, returning to her home in South Carolina from a bike rally in Illinois, when the motorcycle’s tire deflated. The motorcycle’s driver lost control of the vehicle and crashed. McCloud ended up striking her head on the sidewalk after the motorcycle flipped. Although she was wearing a helmet, the impact of the crash was so great that it caused severe brain damage. She was also left partially paralyzed after the accident and requires around-the-clock care.

She later filed a lawsuit and an Illinois jury in 2007 awarded her $15 million after finding that the tire was defective. According to newspaper reports, the jury deliberated for 15 hours over two days before they made their decision to hold Goodyear Dunlop Tires North America Ltd. liable for the May 26, 2002 accident.
