丰田汽车公司的法律噩梦
TOYOTA'S LEGAL
NIGHTMARE: Toyota's troubles
have just begun. All the recalls for acceleration and braking
problems have caused a massive number of lawsuits, and not just
suits related to death and injuries attributed to safety problemsat
least 30 lawsuits seeking class-action status have been filed to
pay consumers for the vehicles' reduced value and lost use during
repairs. For instance, a team of 22 law firms in 16 states are
working on a class-action suit aimed at recovering lost car value.
According to the head of the legal team, it should be easy to prove
damages, as the value of Toyotas have fallen 2.5 percent to 4.5
percent from four weeks ago. If a typical vehicle was worth $10,000
before the recalls and lost 3.5 percent in value, that's a $350
loss per car. With six million Toyotas recalled, the damages could
reach $2.1 billion. If plaintiffs are able to prove that Toyota
knew about the defects but did nothing, Toyota could be on the hook
for double that. And that's just one of the many suits facing the
company.
