Toyota Recall Lawyer: Company Refuses To Admit Electronics An Issue In Face Of Evidence
Toyota still refused to admit last week at congressional hearings that electronics are the cause of, or at least play a role in, the sudden unintended acceleration (SUA) defect that is the subject of the massive recall. This despite an expert's ability to reproduce SUA in field experiments by electrically short circuiting a Toyota's electronics using an external bypass system that recreates conditions, such as corrosion, moisture and manufacturing imperfections that may be culprits.
The professor, David Gilbert of Southern Illinois University, has so far been able to replicate SUA on a Tundra, Lexus, Matrix and Avalon.
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.
