Hagens Berman LLP: Co-Lead Attorney in Toyota SUA Litigation Comments on CNN Story

SEATTLE, March 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Steve Berman, managing partner at Hagens Berman and co-lead counsel for the economic loss plaintiffs in the Toyota (NYSE: TM) sudden, unintended acceleration litigation, today released the following statement concerning CNN's story on Toyota:

"We believe that CNN's report confirms what we intend to prove in court, that Toyota knows much more about sudden, unintended acceleration in its vehicles than it has publicly acknowledged. We intend to prove in court that Toyota's actions regarding this problem have endangered public safety and is insulting to those who have suffered economic losses or, even worse, injuries or death due to Toyota's negligence."
