Toyota Sued For Wrongful Death Resulting From Defective Gas Pedal
A lawsuit was filed against Toyota for wrongful death after a crash involving a 2009 Toyota Corolla driven by Trina Harris. The estate of Trina Harris, who was killed when her Toyota Corolla suddenly accelerated and crashed in December 2009 alleges Toyota new about the defect. The estate is suing Toyota and the gas pedal’s manufacturer, and the Toyota dealership where Harris had leased the car.
It was very tragic as Harris was killed instantly when her Toyota Corolla drove through a stop sign and slammed into a concrete wall. The car was a 2009 model and you just don't expect to have mechanical problems when you purchase a new car. Of course now Toyota is recalling the vehicles and hopefully future tragic automobile accidents will be avoided. Trina is survived by a loving husband and two beautiful daughters.
