Toyota Recall Attorney: Deceptive Business Practices Lawsuit Filed
The Orange County (California) District Attorney filed a lawsuit against Toyota based on consumer protection law violations. It alleges that Toyota knowingly sold thousands of vehicles that had the potential for sudden unintended acceleration. This, the lawsuit alleges, constitutes a violation of California's Unfair Business Practices Act, a consumer protection law, for engaging in deceptive business practices. Each violation of the act carries a potential $2,500 fine.
This lawsuit represents a brand new legal front that challenges Toyota and attempts to hold it responsible following the massive recall.
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.
