DETROIT (AP) — At least 42 people have died and 58 have been injured in
crashes involving General Motors cars with defective ignition switches.
Attorney Kenneth Feinberg, who was hired by GM to compensate victims,
updated the totals Monday.
Feinberg says he has received 251 death claims and 2,075 injury claims since
August.
The fund so far has deemed a total of 100 claims eligible for compensation.
GM knew about faulty ignition switches in Chevrolet Cobalts and other small
cars for more than a decade but didn't recall them until February. The
switches can slip out of the "on" position, which causes the cars to stall,
knocks out power steering and turns off the air bags.
Feinberg will accept claims until Jan. 31. |
