Brad Lakin will appear on tonight's broadcast of Anderson Cooper 360. Lakin won a $43 million verdict on behalf of his clients against Ford Motor Company, in a car fire case that caught the attention of the nation last April.

Many people still remember the crash where a St. Louis area couple was trapped in their 1993 Lincoln Town Car, which erupted into flames after an accident on I-270 in Madison County, Illinois. A wrench in the Jablonski's trunk punctured the fuel tank during a rear end impact, which resulted in a fire.

John Jablonski, Sr. and his wife Dora Jablonski were both badly injured when their vehicle burst into flames. Mr. Jablonski suffered burns over 80% of his body and died of his injuries two days later and Mrs. Jablonski suffered permanent burns over 32% of her body, is unable to walk and currently resides in a nursing home.

Anderson Cooper will explore the circumstances behind the car fire, and how Lakin went about representing his clients in the case.

Brad Lakin said, "This is an important case for the Jablonskis who suffered horrible injuries, but it has national implications for millions of Americans who currently drive Ford's Lincoln Town Car, Grand Marquis and Crown Victoria. While Ford has provided retrofits, trunk protection and warnings to police agencies it has refused to provide the same information to the civilian vehicle owners. So what we have is millions of people driving Ford's Lincoln Town Car, Grand Marquis and Crown Victoria without knowing about the fire problem."
