Toyota Unintended Acceleration Marketing, Sales Practices, and Product Liability Litigation
N/AOUTCOME: Economic-Loss Claims Settled/Personal Injury Claims Pending
In 2009, Bailey & Glasser filed one of the first wrongful death actions alleging sudden-acceleration defects in a Toyota Camry, a case featured on CNN, the New York Times, and other national media. Ult ... imately, our lawyers were appointed to key MDL leadership roles in what came to be one of the largest products liability cases ever filed. Ben Bailey served on the plaintiffs’ lead counsel committee pursuing economic-loss damages; Eric Snyder serves on the Plaintiffs' Liaison Committee for personal injury/wrongful death cases. The firm has played a leading role in developing expert testimony on the sudden acceleration defect in 2002-2010 Toyota vehicles. The economic-loss claims settled for $1.6 billion; the personal injury claims remain pending.
