Medford Man Sues Toyota After Wife Dies in Single-Car Accident
Posted on Mar 02, 2010
March 1, 2010 - Medford, Mass. - A man from Medford, Mass. has filed a lawsuit against Toyota Motor Sales USA., Inc. in connection with a fatal accident involving a recalled Toyota.
According to The Boston Globe, Gerald Murphy, 49, was driving his 2010 Toyota Camry on October 18, 2009 when he experienced an unintended acceleration issue, similar to those experienced by other Toyota drivers.
Gerald Murphy was driving home on Interstate 93, about to exit the freeway, when his car suddenly accelerated despite his pressure on the brake.
The car slammed into a guardrail on the right side of the highway, and then veered across 4 lanes before hitting a cement median barrier. Murphy's wife, Marianne Murphy, 47, suffered fatal injuries in the crash, while Gerald Murphy suffered serious injuries. It was reported that neither victim was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the single-car accident.
A teen in the car sustained minor injuries, while Murphy's adult daughter did not suffer injuries. Both victims were wearing seatbelts in the back seat of the car.
Sources allege that Toyota will likely not take responsibility for the accident, since the company has not done so with other similar accidents related to recalled Toyotas. The Murphy family is seeking $20 million and a jury trial.
