Land Rover maker ordered to pay $21.1 million in rollover case

A judge has ordered automaker Jaguar Land Rover to pay $21.1 million to a man who was paralyzed when his Land Rover Discovery SUV rolled over several times after a collision on the freeway.

Listed among the reasons for the decision were the vehicle's high center of gravity, which made it susceptible to rolling over, and its roof collapsed too easily.  These two problems caused the injured man to suffer a debilitating spinal cord injury, permanently lost the use of his arms and legs, and now lives with his parents and three children, who provide him constant care.
