General Motors may pay
damages to those with accident cases that occurred before the company filed for
bankruptcy in 2009. Although the company
is legally protected by the agreements made through bankruptcy, they are
considering compensating those who experienced crashes due to defective
ignition switches.
Since 2001, millions of
cars were recalled for defective ignition switches that General Motors failed
to fix. The faulty ignition switches
could suddenly cut off engine power and deactivate air bags. There are 13 deaths linked to this defect.
It is not clear why GM failed to acknowledge the ignition switch issue. However, one document shows that the price of a new switch would cost the company 90 cents extra.
Check to see if your car is affected by the
GM recall on their website. You can also read more about the pending case
in the New York Times.
