Plaintiffs proved that Toyota had actual knowledge of the defects in the seatbelt buckle and the door latching mechanism, yet failed to take any corrective action and failed to warn the public of these known dangers. The jury returned a verdict of $30,000,000 for the pain and suffering of Delia Bibbs, $6,000,000 for her future life-care expenses and $466,100 in past medical expenses and $10,000,000 to Anthony Bibbs on his loss of consortium claim. The verdict represents the largest compensatory damages verdict in the history of Georgia.
