Case: Anita Sorenson was injured in a one-vehicle accident that occurred as she was driving east on Highway 106. She was driving her friend’s 1998 Ford Explorer that had been manufactured by the Ford Motor Company and sold by Davis Motors, a local Ford dealer. Anita told the police that the accident occurred when she was “just driving along and all of a sudden I heard a loud bang and then felt a big bump. The Explorer left the road and rolled over. When I woke up the Explorer was in a ditch and I was hanging by my seat belt upside down.” Several weeks after the accident, Anita’s friend, Randy Monroe, received a letter from Ford notifying all Explorer owners that 1998 Explorers were being recalled due to a problem with their Bridgestone/Firestone tires. If Anita would like to sue, she must choose whether to sue Davis Motors (the retailer), Ford Motor Company (the manufacturer of the Explorer), Bridgestone/Firestone, Inc. (the manufacturer of the tire), Randy Monroe (her friend), or all four.
