After a car crash that left 8-year-old Amanda Dinnigan catastrophically injured two years ago, evidence came to light suggesting that a faulty seatbelt mechanism in the family’s GMC Envoy may have been to blame. A lawsuit stating as much was filed on behalf of Amanda, who is now a quadriplegic whose medical care costs exceed $500,000 annually.
Amanda Dinnigan is only one of more 1200 plaintiffs currently involved in personal injury claims against GM. Unsure of what their fate will be in the aftermath of the company’s recent bankruptcy, these litigants are banding together and demanding protection. One request that has been made is that Congress set aside funds to compensate victims who may have been injured by defective GM products. However, a final determination of the best course of action has not yet been made.
