LawyersandSettlements.com Interviews Attorney Lance Cooper As Second GM Faulty Ignition Lawsuit Is Filed On Behalf Of Melton Family
The Melton family, represented by attorney Lance Cooper of The Cooper Firm in Marietta, Georgia, is now re-engaging in their fight against the automotive giant—the family has now filed a second complaint alleging GM concealed critical evidence during litigation and allowed its corporate representatives to commit perjury (Civil Action No. 14A-1197-4, State Court of Cobb County, State of Georgia). LawyersandSettlements.com recently interviewed Cooper about the ongoing GM lawsuits.
The original GM faulty ignition lawsuit court documents (Melton v. General Motors (Case No. 2011-A-2652, State Court of Cobb County, State of Georgia)) allege GM knew years ago that the key system did not meet their specifications. The ignition switch sat too low on the steering column, which potentially allowed drivers’ knees to hit the chain, causing the key to switch from the ‘run’ position to ‘accessory’.
