Bloomberg News reports that General Motors has requested
that a Federal judge not hand over “confidential information related to its
2009 government rescue” to the Center for Auto Safety, which is “researching
the ignition-switch defect” in GM cars tied to the massive, “2.59
million”-vehicle recall this year. In the words of the Center for Auto Safety’s
court filings, submitted yesterday in Washington, “GM has an interest in
protecting its confidential information that obviously diverges from the
center’s interest in disclosure, and that also diverges from Treasury’s
interest in responding to the center’s request.” Moreover, the safety center’s
President Clarence Ditlow alleges that GM tried to hide the potentially fatal
ignition-switch defect for more than a decade, meaning the company never
acknowledged the problem to a Federal bankruptcy court when it received
millions in taxpayer-funded bailouts as well as protection from future
lawsuits.
Report expected soon. The Wall Street Journal reports on the
awaited report about GM’s defective ignition-switch from former US Attorney
Anton Valukas. The company has said that it is awaiting the report before
taking any further action. The article highlights a number of questions that
the report may address including who made a number of decisions regarding the
switch and why action was not taken to address the problem at various earlier
moments when problems became apparent.
We believe that obtaining legal satisfaction from those who
harmed you shouldn’t require more hardship. That’s why we do everything we can
to streamline the process, and we will file a lawsuit on your behalf if
necessary. If you or a loved one has been affected by this recall, and you
believe it caused an injury, contact Chhabra & Gibbs today by going to
