Toyota Recall

Carol Rosenbloom Associates, LLC | Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Toyota Recall Attorney

Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A. announced on Tuesday, January 26, 2010, it is suspending manufacturing and sales of many of its bestselling models following a series of safety recalls involving millions of vehicles.

Toyota first announced a recall of more than 4 million cars and trucks last September, saying that driver-side floor mats could interfere with the accelerator pedal, causing vehicles to speed out of control. On Jan. 22, Toyota announced a recall of 2.3 million additional American cars and trucks, saying that the gas pedal mechanisms could wear out over time and cause the accelerator to stick or grow unresponsive.

According to a leading attorney in the investigation of cases involving runaway Toyotas, says that Toyota is concealing the truth. "It’s not a sticking accelerator pedal," he says. "Just like it wasn't the floor mats."

While contacting a lawyer is an important step in pursing any claim, sometimes a person’s claim is lost before the lawyer is contacted. In some car accidents the airbag fails to deploy, the seat belt fails to work, a tire blows out or a tire tread separates. The insurance company quite reasonably wants to resolve the claim for damage to the car. They buy it at salvage value and destroy it or ship it away never to be seen again. Once the vehicle is gone, it is likely that any lawsuit arising from the air bag failure, seatbelt failure or tire failure goes away, as well. In order to prevail against a manufacturer, the airbag or tire must be retained. Without it, the court usually won’t allow the claim proceeds. So, if you suspect a product or piece of equipment failed, you should try to preserve the car in your possession, tell the insurance companies to preserve it (in writing) or contact an attorney as soon as possible.

Any Toyota motor vehicle accident involving serious injury or death, including paralysis, loss of limb or brain damage should be carefully analyzed for possible product liability claims.
