Heninger Garrison Davis is Investigating Claims of GM Bad Ignition Lawsuits
Ignition switch defect implicated in deaths of more than 300 people
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Aug. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Heninger Garrison Davis, recognized as one of the nation's leading litigation firms, is investigating claims of numerous personal injury lawsuits against General Motors (GM) for selling defective vehicles with safety flaws.
GM has recalled as many as eight models of cars manufactured over an eight-year timeframe in the U.S., Canada and Europe due to faulty ignition switches and loss of power. The defect has been implicated in the deaths of more than 300 people in crashes where the front air bags did not deploy.
In the U.S. alone, a defect in 1.4 million cars sold could cause the cars' engine and electrical system to shut off and disable the air bags.
"Automakers have a legal duty to produce cars that are safe and promptly correct any known safety defects," said Lewis Garrison, Jr., Partner, Heninger Garrison Davis. "If the driver or occupant of one of these GM cars was killed, surviving families members need to know that they may file a wrongful death lawsuit," explained Garrison.
To date, GM has recalled the following eight models of cars:
- Chevrolet Cobalt – 2005 to 2010 model years,
- Chevrolet HHR – 2006 to 2011 model years,
- Opel GT (Europe) – 2007 model year,
- Pontiac G5 – 2007 to 2010 model years,
- Pontiac Pursuit (Canada) – 2005 to 2006 model years,
- Pontiac Solstice – 2006 to 2010 model years,
- Saturn Ion – 2003 to 2007 model years and
- Saturn Sky – 2007 to 2010 model years.
Damages in personal injury lawsuits against auto manufacturers for selling defective vehicles with safety flaws include damages for:
- past and future physical pain and suffering, mental anguish and physical impairment;
- past and future medical, incidental and hospital expenses;
- past and future loss of earnings and earning capacity; and
- punitive damages in cases of egregious misconduct.
