AWARDED. To the parents of SERGIO JIMENEZ II, the six-year-old boy who died in 1994 after being thrown from a Dodge Caravan with a defective rear latch: $262.5 million in damages; in Charleston, S.C.

In one complaint, South Carolina resident Lynn Beaty hit the brakes on her 1992 Dodge Caravan to avoid hitting two deer, and the child seat holding her toddler flew forward, landing upside down with her daughter still in it. Identical parts were used in the 1991-93 Dodge Caravan and Grand Caravan, Plymouth Voyager and Grand Voyager and Chrysler Town and Country minivans. This is the latest...
