With all the news about GM and Chrysler filing for bankruptcy, personal injury victims should be concerned. For thousands of people who have filed personal injury claims against both companies for poor manufacturing, the bankruptcies might leave them out in the cold.
Some defective product claims made against Chrysler allege that certain Jeep models will go into reverse even after the car has been put in park. For many of the people who have been injured because of these defective products, their lawsuits will basically go unheard.
When GM and Chrysler file for bankruptcy, victims may not be able to recover the damages they need to pay for medical bills or to replace damaged cars. Even worse, there are families who have lost loved ones from wrongful deaths caused by defective cars or trucks, and will not be able to recover compensation for their emotional injuries.
Some of the most common injuries suffered by victims of defective Chrysler products include spinal cord injures, neck injuries, and traumatic brain injuries.
If you or someone you know has filed a lawsuit against GM or Chrysler, you should consult an experienced defective product attorney as soon as possible to learn how you can recover the compensation you need.
