Ford seeks new trial after $1.7 billion jury verdict in truck rollover lawsuit

Ford engine is asking a Georgia court for a new trial, after a jury returned a $1.7 billion verdict against the automaker last month in a truck rollover crash that left two people dead.

In new court filings on Monday, Ford said it was unfairly barred from providing evidence that would show the truck involved in the fatal incident was safe and had a stronger roof structure than most of its peers.
