Massachusetts Gets 1st Toyota-Related Class Action Lawsuit
Posted on Feb 19, 2010
February 19, 2010 - Boston - The recent Toyota recall issues are far from over, as illustrated by Massachusetts' 1st class action lawsuit against Toyota.
According to The Boston Herald, the lead plaintiff in the case, Darshak Shah, 27, of Lowell, crashed his 2010 Toyota Corolla just weeks after purchasing the car. The crash occurred when Shah collided with another vehicle after unsuccessfully pushing the brakes on his out-of-control Corolla.
Shah is just one of the millions of American consumers affected by the extensive Toyota recall, which includes an ever-growing list of vehicles. Owners of the Toyotas are likely to suffer a decline in resale value and also experience a loss of car usage or even suffer personal injuries or death as a result of the unintended acceleration issue.
Apparently, Toyota's recent product recall has already produced a loss of resale value for most of the manufacturer's cars. Though this is the first related lawsuit filed in Massachusetts, plaintiffs in about 21 other states are preparing similar suits.
Toyota has declined to comment on this class action lawsuit, even despite recent claims that the automaker knew about the unexpected acceleration issue for years.
If you have been affected by the Toyota recall issue, you may be entitled to seek damages in a class action lawsuit. The Massachusetts class action attorneys at Phillips & Garcia will fight for your rights in your class action lawsuit.
