GM execs brace for recall fallout – Automotive News
What remains unclear is when GM learned of the 13 fatalities, says Lance Cooper, a suburban Atlanta attorney representing the estate of Brooke Melton of Hiram, Ga., who died in 2010 at age 29 when the engine in her 2005 Cobalt cut off and she crashed.
Cooper has settled a lawsuit against GM on behalf of Melton on undisclosed terms.
