General Motors Co. has settled a lawsuit over the death of a 29-year-old woman that helped trigger the recall of 2.59 million cars because of faulty ignition switches.
Lawyers representing Ken and Beth Melton, whose daughter Brooke Melton died in a March 2010 crash while driving a 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt, said Friday the case was resolved with a confidential settlement “after accomplishing goals of bringing cover-up to light and holding GM accountable for consumer safety.”
