Feinberg lays out GM victim compensation plan – Insurance News Net

Lance Cooper, a Georgia lawyer who exposed the defect and represents some families involved in the defect, said the scope of the compensation plan is too limited and will probably prompt most victims to pursue lawsuits.
“There’s no punitive component, so I think there are going to likely be a majority of families who decide they want to have their day in court, particularly given GM’s conduct,” Cooper said in an interview.
