Toyota Wrongful Death Trial

In 2009 through 2010, Toyota was forced to recall over eight million vehicles due to a sudden, unexpected acceleration problem. One California family is getting their day in court regarding the issue. Noriko Uno was a conservative driver, only going to and from work in her 2006 Toyota Camry. In 2009 she was killed after her car sped up to 100 miles per hour, causing her to lose control and eventual hit a guard rail and died. Her family is pressing charges and trying to get the answers as to what went wrong. Toyota claims that her 2006 model was not affected by the recall and that the sudden acceleration had to be caused by driver errors and not a factory mishap. 

Uno’s family is just one, of thousands of cases across the country being tried in state and federal courts. The Japanese manufacturer, Toyota has already paid over 1 billion dollars to others affected by the recall. Some claims filed against the manufacturer were for lost value against their cars after the recall was implemented. Other claims filed were for sticky brake pedals and faulty floor mats, but most of those cases were settled outside of court. The whole situation is proving to be very costly for Toyota. Toyota is prepared to fight in court against the sudden acceleration claims. 

 Although Uno’s car was not part of the recall the claims against Toyota are serious. Toyota is denying all responsibility and Uno’s case is expected to last 2 months.
