GM accused of hiding from reopened lawsuit – In Auto News
Lance Cooper and Jere Beasley, the plaintiffs lawyers, are now trying to reopen a case settled before the ignition switch recall became public – with Ken and Beth Melton suing three years ago the automaker for the death of their daughter, Brooke Melton, in 2010. She died in a 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt, which was allegedly due to the power loss related to the defective part, which caused the 29-year-old nurse lose control of the car. The case was reopened in May because the plaintiffs claimed the carmaker fraudulently concealed evidence.
