Victory For Consumers Injured By GM Vehicles

Recently General Motors and the United States Treasury were forced to agree that all claims arising out of incidents that occurred prior to the emergence of the “new GM” would be liabilities assumed by the “new GM.” This hard fought victory means that as many as 70 million vehicles for which there was intended to be no tort or product liability are now the responsibility of the “new GM.”

In the past, Chrysler did not assume the same accountability or liability. It now seems impossible that Chrysler can stand as the only car company which will not take responsibility for deaths and injuries caused by product defects in the 10 million or more Chrysler vehicles now on the road.

The Philadelphia car accident lawyers at Reiff & Bily are committed to representing the rights of catastrophically injured individuals as well as individuals who sustained fatalities as a result of being involved in a car accident with a defectively designed motor vehicle.
