At the time the vehicle in question was designed, manufactured and sold by Defendant Ford, the same was defective in design and unreasonably dangerous, which defective and unreasonably dangerous condition was a producing cause of the injuries to Plaintiffs, the physical pain and mental anguish they suffered, the death of Matthew Marroquin, Deceased, and of the damages suffered by Plaintiffs.

Defendant, Ford, selected and installed the defective glass that was unreasonably dangerous to consumers, including Matthew Marroquin, Deceased. The glass used in the side windows of the 2000 Ford Expedition was defective and unreasonably dangerous in that such glass was designed and manufactured so as to shatter and eject, regardless of whether it was impacted or to vacate the window portal, whether partial or full, leaving nothing to assist in the containment or otherwise mitigate occupant ejections.

Defendant Ford committed acts of omission and commission, which collectively and severally, constituted negligence, which negligence was a proximate cause of the injuries to Matthew Marroquin, the physical pain and mental anguish he suffered, his death, and of the damages suffered by Plaintiffs.

Plaintiffs Carlos Marroquin and Linda Marroquin and Mikayla Marroquin were and are closely related to Matthew Marroquin, Deceased. Plaintiffs Carlos Marroquin and Linda Marroquin and Mikayla Marroquin were therefore “bystanders” to Matthew Marroquin’s fatal injury and death as that term is defined under the law of the State of Texas and herein asserts their claims as bystanders.
