GM settles again in Georgia death case – Detroit Free Press
By Greg Gardener
General Motors has settled a lawsuit filed by the parents of Brooke Melton, a Georgia pediatric nurse, who died in a March 2010 crash involving her 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt.
Evidence found by the Meltons’ attorney, Lance Cooper, showed that a GM engineer, Ray DeGiorgio, had changed the design of an ignition switch but failed to change the part number of the new switch.
