Description

The plaintiffs in this case, Luciano and Pete Montoya, were seriously injured when the car which Luciano Montoya was driving left the road and rolled over several times. They brought suit against the dealer, Galles Chevrolet, and the manufacturer, General Motors Corporation, under a theory of strict products liability. Galles Chevrolet successfully moved against General Motors for indemnification in the event the plaintiffs won a judgment against Galles. The case was tried to a jury, which awarded damages to both plaintiffs in the total sum of $40,000.00. The trial judge then granted the defendants a judgment notwithstanding the verdict. The plaintiffs appeal. We reverse.
