General Motors settles 2 ‘bellwether’ ignition switch cases

General Motors Co. has settled two federal court cases related to its defective ignition switches, but its legal troubles stemming from the switches are far from over.

The automaker settled the two cases, one of which was set to go to trial September 12, for undisclosed amounts, GM spokesman Jim Cain said in an emailed statement.

“We have an agreement to settle the last two federal bellwether cases scheduled for 2016”, James Cain, a GM spokesman, said in a statement.

The switch can slip out of place, causing engines to stall and cutting power to the brake, steering and air bag systems.

In addition to the cases already scheduled, GM could be facing lawsuits from victims whose alleged injuries occurred before GM’s 2009 bankruptcy.

A report GM commissioned by former USA attorney Anton Valukas found the auto maker failed for more than a decade to recall vehicles with the faulty switch despite internal evidence of a safety problem.

GM resolved some claims for injuries and deaths blamed on the switch through an out-of-court program administered by Washington lawyer Kenneth Feinberg.

GM won three of the bellwether cases earlier this year.

AGeneral Motors has settled two lawsuits related to its ignition switch issues, the company said Monday. But many others are pursuing their claims in court. Hilliard said at least 133 pre-bankruptcy cases could be brought against the automaker. “We are hopeful GM’s appeals of that decision will be unsuccessful and a discussion of the resolution of that docket of cases can begin shortly”.

“My expectation is they will try to resolve those that they believe put the company at peril and try the ones they think they can win”, he added.

“While the desire to move through bankruptcy as expeditiously as possible was laudable, Old GM’s precarious situation and the need for speed did not obviate basic constitutional principles”, the court said at the time. The other case involved a Kentucky resident who allegedly crashed when attempted to maneuver around a deer in a Saturn Ion. Cockram suffered a closed head injury, broken jaw and broken hip.
