Issues with the ignition switches installed in a variety of GM automobile models have resulted in many accidents and dozens of deaths. The faulty switches can make the vehicle suddenly turn off during driving, shutting down the engine and the car's electrical systems. This disables the air bags, brakes and power steering system. When these critical systems are disabled, drivers lose control of the vehicle, potentially causing accidents that can result in serious injury or death.

GM Lawsuit: GM might be on the hook for billions over ignition recall injuries

A lawsuit is being pursued against GM over their recent massive ignition recall. The lawsuit has asked General Motors to pay millions of dollars in response to a list of cars from the automaker that were recalled. The ignition of these cars malfunctions and has caused the death of at least 12 individuals. The GM lawsuit alleges that the car company knew of the defect and took months to report the problem to consumers. Engineers had previously reported to the company that car ignitions were turning off when cars were bumped. However, the company waited to address the issue and inadvertently caused the death of several victims.

Wrongful Deaths caused by recalled GM vehicles, lawsuit alleges.

The most serious cases involving the GM recall are those involving wrongful death. These suits are being filed not only because the company sold a defected product, but also because they knowingly concealed this error. If you or a loved one have been a victim of these defected cars, which led to a wrongful death, please contact our lawyers as soon as possible. In the infamous Toyota recall, the carmaker set aside billions of dollars in settlements. In early 2014, Toyota settled these litigation suits for $1.2 billion.

Diminution of Value: how much can this lawsuit get individual GM customers?

Diminution of value refers the calculated damages of a legal dispute or the loss a person incurred. In the lawsuit against General Motors, many individuals are filing claims because they have experienced mental suffering, pain, loss of wages and medical expenses as a result of the ignition defect. In order to qualify, victims must have used one of these defected vehicle by GM, and the faulty ignition must have led to harm or loss. Contacting an attorney is the best way to find out if a person meets this criteria.

History of the GM Recall.

In February 2014, it was revealed that several GM cars were experiencing ignition switch issues that resulted in numerous accidents and a handful of deaths. Since then, GM has issues a recall for over 30 million of their automobiles, making this the largest vehicle recall in history.

Since the initial recall, evidence has surfaced that GM knew about the defective ignition switch several year before hand. Congress has investigated the company, asking why they failed to take steps to remedy the problem sooner. Further evidence showed that the automaker may have known of the issue as soon as 2001. Despite this, they ignored the problem for 13 years even though the company had been notified of the faulty switches through numerous internal memos.
