GM Recall: More Defective Switches – No More Victims “Eligible” for Some Compensation


GM Recall: More Defective Switches – No More Victims “Eligible” for Some Compensation

July, 2014

Dear Care for Crash Victims Community Members:

GM Switch problem in 7.6 million more recalled vehicles.  One difference from the previous recall is that in addition to putting more Americans at risk both in GM vehicles and all other motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists, is that these crash victims will not be “eligible” for the GM compensation fund.““The compensation fund should be open clearly and readily to anyone who suffered death or injury as a result of these similar defects which were concealed in the same reprehensible way,” Senator Richard Blumenthal, Democrat of Connecticut, said in an interview Friday.”

See excellent article in NY Times athttp://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/19/business/gm-resists-expanding-victims-fund.html?hpw&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&version=HpHedThumbWell&module=well-region&region=bottom-well&WT.nav=bottom-well&_r=0

The GM policies of “money is more important than people” continue in the stone walling of crash victims at the new GM.  
And so too do the needs of crash victims for compensation, safety, and justice continue in the U.S.A. — every day.
As I wrote in my May Monthly Report “What the public does not yet know can kill us”.   See “NHTSA & GM Crash Death Problems – Bigger Than We Know” athttps://www.careforcrashvictims.com/assets/MonthlyReport-May2014.pdf
