Landmark $310 Million Wrongful Death Verdict
Hilliard Law achieved a groundbreaking $310 million verdict against “Funtime” Handelsgesellschaft M.G.H., the manufacturer of a defective ride, following the tragic death of a 14-year-old. On March 24, 2022, the victim fell from the ride due to the manufacturer’s decision to forgo installing seatbelts—a safety measure that would have cost just $660. This devastating loss highlighted the consequences of corporate negligence and spurred legislative change. In response to the case, the state enacted the Tyre Sampson Act to improve amusement park ride safety regulations. This case underscores Hilliard Law’s commitment to holding negligent parties accountable and advocating for meaningful change to protect others.
