In Romo v. Ford Motor Co. (2003) 113 Cal.App.4th 738, three members of a family were killed and three were injured in a vehicle rollover accident. The surviving members sued the vehicle manufacturer for their own injuries, for the wrongful deaths of the decedents, and, on behalf of the estates of the decedents, for the decedents' injuries. (Id. at p. 756.) The plaintiffs were awarded nearly $5 million in compensatory damages, after adjustments by the trial court for comparative fault and fault of a third party, and $290 million in punitive damages. (Id. at pp. 744, 757-758.) In a prior appeal, the judgment had been affirmed; in this appeal, the issue was whether the punitive damage award was excessive. In light of a recent United States Supreme Court precedent, the court reduced the punitive damage award to $23.7 million. (Id. at p. 763.)
