Accident Attorney News: Toyota Pays $32.4 Million in Fines for Recalls
In recent vehicle recall fines, Toyota is sentenced to pay millions in civil law suits report accident attorneys.
West Palm Beach, FL – (JusticeNewsFlash.com) Toyota Motor Corporation is slated to pay $32.4 million in civil law suits due to the string of high-profile recalls report national accident attorneys. This $32.4 million dollar fine, which is the maximum penalty that is allowed by law, is actually composed of two separate instances. Accident attorneys say the first fine against Toyota cost a total of $16.375 million as a result of the recall of five million vehicles. These vehicles were recalled because the accelerator pedal was becoming trapped by the floor mats. The second and separate fine against Toyota was $16.05 million. This fine was attributable to the fact that Toyota did not properly notify the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration about a defect in the car that resulted in a loss of steering. All those affected by the Toyota vehicle recall or involved in auto accidents due to malfunctioning motor vehicle equipment should contact an accident lawyer in their local area. Accident attorneys can help victims of auto accidents who have been injured or sustained financial loss due to time out of work, doctor, or car repair bills secure compensation from the responsible party.
