丰田解决了备受瞩目的加利福尼亚车祸的诉讼

圣安娜,加利福尼亚州  ( 美联社) ——丰田汽车公司解决了一家四口在圣地亚哥附近被高速撞击致死的诉讼,此案引起对丰田汽车安全缺陷的广泛关注,导致数百万汽车被召回。

一位丰田发言人在星期六确认解决诉讼,发了一个声明电子邮件美联社。 它首先在星期五晚上被报道在洛杉矶时报网站。 公司没有详细说明解决的条款。

泰晤士报说丰田预期在星期一揭露法官判决处理。 法院汇集档案表明两方在六月达到和解。

提姆派瑟尼柯,是包括三个成年受害者父母原告方的律师,当时到达泰晤士报拒绝评论。

和解方案忽视了共同被告——鲍勃贝克雷克萨斯,贷款给家庭汽车的经销商。

劳瑞威利斯,鲍伯贝克雷克萨斯的律师,告诉泰晤士报,“丰田仅仅力图保护自己的利益。 他们决定裁剪他们自己经销商。”。 威利斯说诉讼针对经销商尚未得到结论。

加利福尼亚公路巡逻官员马克塞勒,45岁,在2009年8月从经销商的手中曾经借用丰田制造的小轿车。

当其在8月28日在圣地亚哥城郊的高速路上开车时,他与他的妻子一同被杀死,克莱奥费,45岁,还有他们的女儿马哈拉,13岁,克莱奥费的兄弟克理斯拉斯特瑞拉,39岁。 他们的车速到达超过120英里/小时的速度,击中一辆运动型多用途车,反弹到路堤,翻转几次并且突然燃烧起来。

调查人发现错误尺寸 的地毯是使油门出现问题导致车祸发生。

在车撞到路堤前,911求救电话拨打时,拉斯特瑞拉告诉其他人要祷告。

在撞毁之后不久,丰田召回数百万汽车替换它说的地毯,据说此可能造成油门受阻。 汽车制造商稍后召回更多数百万辆车辆替换汽车加速踏板,说它可能会受阻。

这案件被认为是数百诉讼件中对几个丰田型号突然加速及公司普锐斯混合动力车刹车故障问题,要求索赔最多的一件。

在星期二汽车制造业者要求罢免的诉讼根据圣安娜的判决已经移送联邦诉讼。

其他几个案件的代理律师,唐·斯拉维克说“直到他们摆脱这种情况,每个人打算用某事指向丰田。”。


 
Toyota settles suit over high-profile Calif. crash

SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) -- Toyota Motor Corp. has settled a lawsuit brought by relatives of four family members killed in a high-speed crash near San Diego that galvanized attention around safety flaws of Toyotas and led to the recalls of millions of cars.

A Toyota spokesman confirmed the settlement Saturday in a statement e-mailed to The Associated Press. It was first reported on the Los Angeles Times' Web site Friday night. The company would not specify the settlement's terms.

The Times said Toyota is expected to file motions with the judge disclosing the settlement on Monday. Court filings indicate the two parties reached a settlement in June.

Tim Pestotnik, an attorney for the plaintiffs including the parents of the three adult victims, declined comment when reached by the Times.

The settlement left out one co-defendant -- Bob Baker Lexus, the dealer that loaned the family the car.

"Toyota has sought to protect only its own interests. They decided to cut out their own dealer," Larry Willis, attorney for Bob Baker Lexus, told the Times. Willis said the lawsuit against the dealer had not been dropped.

California Highway Patrol officer Mark Saylor, 45, had borrowed the Toyota-made sedan from the dealer in August 2009.

He was killed along with his wife, Cleofe, 45, their daughter Mahala, 13, and Cleofe's brother Chris Lastrella, 39, as they drove on a freeway in suburban San Diego on Aug. 28. Their car reached speeds of more than 120 mph, hit a sport utility vehicle, launched off an embankment, rolled several times and burst into flames.

Investigators found that a wrong-sized floor mat that trapped the accelerator caused the crash.

A 911 call captured Lastrella telling the others to pray before the car launched off the embankment.

Shortly after the crash, Toyota recalled millions of cars to replace floor mats that it said could cause the accelerator to jam. The carmaker later recalled millions more vehicles to replace gas pedals that it said could stick.

The case was considered the strongest of hundreds of lawsuits over claims stemming from sudden acceleration in several Toyota models, and brake glitches with the company's Prius hybrid.

On Tuesday the automaker moved to dismiss the federal lawsuits that have been consolidated under a judge in Santa Ana.

"Until they got rid of this case, it was going to be something everyone pointed at Toyota for," said Don Slavik, an attorney in several of the other lawsuits.
