Can a plaintiff obtain sanctions in a case that settled years earlier? It’s a question a plaintiff in a long-closed products liability case may soon get answered after she filed a Sept. 21 motion for sanctions against some car company defendants and for contempt against those defendants “and/or its employees and attorneys.”
The suit, Pennie Faye Green v. Toyota Motor Corp., et al. , involves the rollover of a Toyota Camry that left plaintiff Pennie Fay Green a quadriplegic. The case was resolved more than two-and-a-half years ago by a confidential settlement and dismissed by the 18th District Court in Johnson County on April 23, 2007, according to Green’s motion for sanctions and contempt.
