General Motors Co.’s emails with King & Spalding LLP and other outside counsel show the automaker engaged in a “massive cover-up” to hide its deadly ignition switch defect, the plaintiffs attorney who unearthed the defect and documents said Monday.
The GM communications were unearthed in the course of discovery in a suit by Ken and Beth Melton, the parents of a 29-year-old nurse who lost control of her 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt in a fatal crash, their attorney Lance Cooper told reporters at press conference.
