General Motors Injury Lawsuits

If you or a loved one has suffered a severe injury resulting from the GM ignition switch defect, you may have grounds to file a GM Injury Lawsuit against General Motors. GM Injury Lawsuits allow persons and family members to seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain, suffering and loss that have resulted from defective GM ignition switches.

A General Motors ignition injury lawsuit was filed for the death of a Georgia nurse in 2010. The case, Brandt v. General Motors LLC, which was filed in U.S. District Court in the Southern District of Texas, brought forth evidence, in the form of company documents and depositions, proving that General Motors engineers were aware of the ignition switch defect as early as 2004. This means the company knew the ignition system was dangerous in its small car line before the 2005 models hit the dealership showrooms. A conscious choice was made to overlook the ignition defect in the interest of profits, even if it meant the loss of life for some GM customers. This particular GM injury lawsuit, which secured evidence of the GM ignition cover-up, is an important precedent for other GM injury lawsuits to follow.

GM injury lawsuits can be filed by persons and the family members of persons who were harmed in a recalled vehicle including those in the Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, and Saturn lines ranging from 1997 to 2014 model years. Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, and Saturn injury lawsuits allege that General Motors had a responsibility to warn customers of the ignition switch hazard through a recall. By keeping silent about the defect, GM put millions of Americans at risk by no fault of their own.

GM injury lawsuits assert that a conscious choice was made to overlook the ignition defect in the interest of profits, even if it meant the loss of life for some GM customers.

GM injury lawsuits stem from a defect with the ignition system that causes the affected vehicles to lose power while being driven. Loss of power disables the brakes, steering, and airbags, meaning the driver can do little to prevent a potentially serious accident. GM injury lawsuits can be filed by or on behalf of persons who were harmed or killed when their vehicle lost power due to an ignition defect. A total of about 30 million vehicles worldwide have been recalled since 2014 related to ignition safety problems.

It is common to wonder if filing a lawsuit is necessary or beneficial. There are two main reasons to file a claim if you or a family member has been injured as a result of the General Motors ignition defect:

First, a GM Injury lawsuit can bring real financial compensation to your family for the suffering, damages, and medical expenses that were incurred in a recalled vehicle. Survivors of serious car accidents are likely to suffer from continued medical problems and require care throughout their lives as a result of a GM Injury.

Second, a critical mass of GM injury lawsuits against the producers of recalled Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, and Saturn vehicles may be the only way for consumers’ voices to be heard by General Motors. Unfortunately, the threat of major litigation is often the most effective way to pressure a company to take responsibility for the safety of their products and become a better corporate citizen. GM injury lawsuits may join forces in a Multi-District Litigation (MDL), bringing individual consumers together to pursue justice and safeguard others against the same dangers in the future.
