| With co-counsel, Lieff Cabraser is representing owners of Ford trucks and other vehicles in lawsuits against Ford for the damages they suffered allegedly due to a defect in the cruise-control switch which caused the vehicle to catch on fire. |
| Lieff Cabraser is representing the family of a 4-year-old girl killed in a fire on January 1, 2004, allegedly caused by the switch defect in the family's 2001 Ford F-150. The girl, Blake Washington, was asleep in her bed when the fire broke out. The Washington family filed a wrongful death suit in Georgia State Court on July 15, 2005. |
| In June 2005, a lawsuit was filed in Iowa by the family of Darletta Mohlis, who died from injuries from a fire in her home May 2, claiming her death was the result of the failure of a cruise control deactivation switch inside her 1996 F-150 truck that was made by Texas Instruments. |

F-150 F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 F-Super
Duty trucks, Excursion SUVs, Econoline and
E-450 vans, Explorers, Mountaineers, Ford Expedition,
Lincoln Navigator, or Ford F-Series Supercrew
truck and other Ford vehicles who lost their
vehicle due to fire and also suffered other
significant property damage (such as the loss
of their house) or were personally injured,
