GM Settles Death Lawsuit That Spurred Millions of Recalls – Bloomberg Business
“The fact that Mr. and Mrs. Melton would be willing to take on a corporate giant and end up being directly responsible for alerting both the government and the public to a massive cover-up by GM is one of the most courageous things that I’ve experienced in my career as a lawyer,” Jere Beasley, one of the parents’ attorneys, said Friday in a statement.
Most lawsuits tied to the defect are before a U.S. judge in New York. Jim Cain, a GM spokesman, confirmed the settlement of the Melton’s Georgia suit, declining further comment.
The case is Melton v. General Motors LLC, 14A-1197-4, State Court, Cobb County, Georgia (Marietta).
