Gonggryp v. BMW of North America CA2/1
Heidi Gonggryp (Gonggryp) sued the manufacturer (Bayerishe Motoren Werke AG) and distributor (BMW of North America LLC) (collectively, BMW) of her automobile for injuries allegedly arising out of a defective seatbelt. Before trial, the trial court ruled that Dr. Daniel Lu (Lu), Gonggryp’s neurosurgeon and one of her retained experts, could not testify that her car’s seatbelt was defective and the cause of her alleged injuries. In addition, the court precluded Lu from offering any opinions based on biomechanics or occupant kinematics. At trial, the jury rendered a unanimous verdict that the seatbelt was not defective.
