Lawyers: GM seeks bankruptcy shield from lawsuit – MSN
By Tom Krisher AP
Cooper and Beasley say moving the case to federal court would allow the company to use the bankruptcy to send claims to the old GM.
Ken and Beth Melton sued GM three years ago in Cobb County, Georgia, in the death of their daughter, Brooke Melton, in 2010. The 29-year-old nurse died when her 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt skidded on a county road, hit another car and ended up in a creek.
