#In $150M Wrongful Death Trial Against Chrysler, Plaintiff’s Lawyer Marks Four-Year-Old’s Survival Time

Jim Butler pauses for one minute to highlight how long evidence suggests Remington Walden survived before his death in a Jeep Cherokee fuel tank fire. Remington’s parents, James and Lindsay Walden, represented by Butler, sued Chrysler, claiming the vehicle maker improperly placed the fuel tank on its 1999 Jeep Cherokee near the rear of the vehicle, leading to a fire that killed Walden in 2012. A Georgia jury awarded the Waldens $150 million, including $30 million for the four-year-old’s pain and suffering.
