GM TRYING TO AVOID PRODUCT LIABILITY SUITS

Last week, I blogged about how Chrysler is attempting to duck product liability suits, essentially shutting the doors to the courthouse for people who were injured by defective Chrysler automobiles. It now looks like GM is following Chrysler's lead by attempting to wash its hands of bad choices and mistakes that injured or killed hundreds - if not thousands - of people.

Like the two victims of Chrysler airbag non-deployments I blogged about last week, consumers injured by defective General Motors vehicles for things like rollover crashes, airbag defects, or seatbelt defects will be left without recourse if GM has its way.

Consumer groups like The Center For Justice and Democracy and the Center for Auto Safety are fighting side by side with product liability lawyers to prevent this from happening.
