Dimitrios P. Biller, a former attorney for Toyota, has filed a lawsuit against the auto manufacturer, accusing the company of illegally withholding evidence in auto accident lawsuits related to SUV rollover injuries and deaths.
Biller has accused Toyota of intentionally hiding evidence in an attempt to keep structural shortcomings of Toyota vehicles from becoming known. Biller worked for Toyota from 2003 to 2007. During that time, he defended the company in SUV rollover lawsuits alleging that injuries and deaths in auto accidents occurred as a result of defective automobiles, particularly stemming from instability and weak roofs on Toyota SUVs and pickup trucks.
Biller’s claim against Toyota charges that in several lawsuits filed in Colorado and Texas, Toyota failed to disclose emails mandated by court orders. Biller attempted to collect design and test data after the company failed to produce this information in court. However, he claims Toyota’s engineering unit was “allowed to destroy relevant information and documents that should have been produced in, approximately, over 300 rollover accidents involving roof crush issues.”
Due to the high risk of serious personal injury and even death in SUV rollover accidents, it is important to hold auto manufacturers responsible when poorly designed autos result in massive medical bills and lost quality of life. An experienced defective automobile attorney can help you receive the compensation you deserve.
