Class Action Status Affirmed By Arkansas State Supreme Court In GM Brakes Lawsuit
The Arkansas Supreme Court has given the green light to plaintiffs to move forward as a class in a pending product liability lawsuit against General Motors over allegedly defectively designed brakes.
The class representative is Boyd Bryant, a previous buyer of the defective brakes that he purchased from GM in September 2006.
In the product liability lawsuit, Bryant alleges that between 1999 and 2002, General Motors sold pickups and SUV's with parking brakes that were defectively designed. What is of an aggravating nature and what has given rise to a claim of punitive damages is that GM is believed to have known about the defective brakes as far back as 2000, but failed to notify dealerships until 2003, so that corrective action could be taken.
If you or a loved one has been affected, including injured or killed by defective brakes made by General Motors, I would invite you to visit my website, www.samlevine.com or contact my office, Sam Levine, Attorney at Law.
