Description
Jayne A. Loulos sued Dick Smith Ford, Inc., and Ford Motor Company for selling her a car not equipped with an airbag. The
trial court granted Ford's motion for partial summary judgment in which Ford contended that Loulos' claim was preempted by
federal law. Loulos appealed. The parties argued the case on December 7, 1993. We granted rehearing on May 3, 1994. We reverse
the trial court's judgment. Loulos was injured when the 1979 Ford Fiesta she was driving rammed into the rear of a dump truck. In her lawsuit for damages
suffered in the collision, Loulos alleged that Ford was liable under theories of negligence and strict liability. Specifically,
she contended that her Fiesta was defectively designed because Ford did not equip it with an airbag.
