Toyota Recall Lawyer: Toyota Carolla Investigation
On February 18, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced it is formally launching an investigation into approximately 500,000 2009-2010 Toyota Corolla vehicles. The half million vehicle probe follows receipt of over 160 complaints of steering problems. These drivers have reported their Corolla veering sharply at high speeds. At least ten of the complaints involve injuries from the problem.
The investigation comes on the heels of recalls of 8.5 million vehicles worldwide for problems including sudden unintended acceleration concerns and braking concerns with the Prius and other hybrid vehicles. Toyota continues to deny that vehicle electronics are at fault. Upwards of 40 deaths and numerous serious injuries have been linked to runaway Toyotas experiencing sudden and unintended acceleration.
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.
Our profession calls this area of law products liability. Consulting a lawyer experienced in handling these matters is usually easy. Most attorneys will provide a complimentary initial consultation to evaluate a claim or case and let the person know if they can help.
