Toyota Recall and Product Liability Claims
Toyota has recalled a large number of its cars, including the RAV4, Corolla, Matrix, Avalon, Camry, Highlander, Tundra and Sequoia, for problems that cause the throttle to stick open.
This hazardous defect in the cars can result in the car accelerating when the driver does not want to accelerate, causing serious accidents, and in some cases, serious injuries.
Lawsuits against the auto manufacturer, based on products liability, can be brought for damages (money) for personal injuries sustained because of an accident that was caused by the throttle sticking in the open position (forced acceleration). Products liability lawsuits against Toyota, or any car manufacturer, for injuries caused by the defect, can result in significant verdicts and settlements. Plaintiffs (injured parties) can sue for their medical expenses, loss of earnings, and pain and suffering, including loss of enjoyment of life.
Plaintiff lawyers who sue manufacturers on behalf of injured consumers work on a contingency fee. This means that the consumer does not pay the attorney anything, and the lawyer only gets paid from the settlement funds when they are recovered for the client.
If you or someone that you care about has been seriously injured in a Toyota vehicle as a result of the sticking throttle causing forced acceleration, it is very important to know that the vehicle must be stored and kept available for testing as it is important evidence in the case. Experts for the plaintiff and the defendant need to examine and test the vehicle to be able to prove the case, i.e. prove that the vehicle was defective, that the defect caused the accident, etc.
Time is very important in bringing a product liability case. It is therefore very important to contact an experienced law firm as soon as possible after such an accident.

If you suffered an injury because of a car manufacturer fault that has resulted in a recall of those vehicles affected. You can claim for car recall, against the car manufacturer or if you have been experiencing a neck pain due to a car accident because of a car recall..you can have neck injury claim.
If you are overwhelmed by expenses related to injuries suffered in a serious accident, and if your accident was caused by someone else’s negligence, you could probably benefit from the assistance of an experienced personal injury lawyer. http://rickterrana.com/
