Nestled in the heart of the mid-West, Indiana is a major transportation hub that has a higher average of traffic accidents and passenger occupant fatalities when compared to the national average (according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, NHTSA). While many of these accidents are caused by some type of human error, such as inexperience, distraction, intoxication or failure to obey traffic laws, in some cases, vehicle equipment defects – such as sudden unintended acceleration – are to blame for life-threatening car accidents.
Most recently, the Toyota corporation has stepped forward, issuing a massive nationwide recall in September 2009 as the result of defects with slipping floor mats and sticky accelerator pedals that they say may have been responsible for sudden and unintentional acceleration in some Toyota vehicles. Frightening and deadly, sudden unintended acceleration occurs when a vehicle immediately starts speeding up without the driver stepping on the gas and without him being able to slow/stop the car with the braking system.
To date, Toyota has recalled 8 million vehicles internationally, 6 million of which are in the U.S. Models affected by this recall include the Avalon, Camry, Corolla, Tundra, RAV4 and Lexus, among others.
If you or a loved one has been injured in an SUA traffic crash, or if you have lost a loved one in such a car accident, you might have a legal claim against Toyota, which would entitled you to seek compensation for your injuries and losses. Our sudden acceleration lawyers will help you build the strongest case possible (at no cost to you until the case is won) so that you can recover from and move forward with your life.
