A new wrongful death case has been filed recently in Dallas against Toyota alleging problems the Toyota car was defective and unreasonably dangerous due to acceleration problems.
Several personal injury lawsuits have been filed in Texas against Toyota, since the massive recall was announced. Case has been reported in Houston, Dallas and Marshall Texas and many suspect many more will follow.
Toyota announced a sticking accelerator petal recall around mid January and the recall has been surrounded in controversy. Recently, a representative of Toyota has been asked to testify before congress. In another development, a congressional committee has subpoenaed internal documents relating to safety issues from a former national counsel for Toyota. Toyota previously obtained an injunction against the former representative prohibiting him from disclosing documents, however the injunction should not affect the congressional subpoena.
Reportedly, the former counsel is critical of Toyotas handling of safety issues and personal injury litigation.
