A jury has awarded no damages in the second of six bellwether cases against General Motors related to its ten-year delay of a recall of cars with faulty ignition switches.
The bellwether trials are intended to help courts around the country try to settle hundreds of similar cases, which allege physical or financial damages due to the defective switches.
The jury found that the plaintiff, who was not seriously injured in the accident, lost control of her car because of icy conditions, not because of the faulty switch.
The first trial ended when GM submitted evidence that the plaintiffs had lied about their alleged damages.
