Toyota Recall Lawyer: Toyota Brags About Savings Through Negotiation Of Limited Recall
An internal Toyota memo has surfaced through the recent congressional hearings documenting officials' claims that the company saved $100 million by negotiating a limited recall of floor mats with the U.S. government in some Toyota and Lexus models. The heading is titled "Wins for Toyota - Safety Group." The document highlights Toyota's efforts at delaying and avoiding government regulations and investigations.
It goes without saying that this new revelation in Toyota's ongoing saga suggests the company consciously placed profits above safety of its customers and anyone else who encountered one of their vehicles. Upwards of 40 deaths have now been attributed to crashes involving sudden unintended acceleration. One has to wonder how many people died because of the conscious decisions Toyota's management made to save money instead of focusing on fixing the problem.
Dangerous and defective products are responsible for many injuries and death nationwide. The issues involved in the Toyota recall will also result in lost value for owners of Toyota vehicles, sometimes call diminution in value. Class action lawsuits have been filed, and I am reviewing and accepting these cases.
