Lawyers Want General Motors Settlement Rescinded – GM Authority
By Diego Rosenburg
Attorneys Lance Cooper and Jere Beasley represent the parents of Brooke Melton, who died in 2011 when the switch on her 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt apparently shifted into the accessory position and cut power to the engine, anti-lock brakes, power steering, and airbags. Brooke skidded off the wet road and crashed. Her accident was one of 13 deaths linked to faulty ignition switches, which has led General Motors to recall 2.6 million vehicles including the Chevrolet Cobalt and HHR, Pontiac Solstice and G5, and Saturn Ion and Sky built from model years 2003-07.
