On the heels if the giant recall, Toyota is now facing claims that the acceleration fixes are not working. Further, there exists strong evidence that the company tried to cover up the problems by withholding documents in litigation. For a company trying to polish its image, better decisions could have been made. What makes matters worse is that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administrations is severely understaffed and facing more budget cuts. Further, some states like South Carolina are passing bills to cap punitive damages in such situations. As product liability attorneys, we handle automobile cases such as these. It is disturbing that companies like Toyota can make such dangerous mistakes and then be protected by caps. Those injured by the recent Toyota acceleration problems should be fully compensated, not victimized twice.
