Toyota lawyer resources: Updated information regarding the recall

Our lawyer is currently assisting Toyota owners who sustained injuries in accidents due to defects in parts. Discuss your case and get a free legal review via the form below.

A lawyer from the law firm of Weitz & Luxenberg is now speaking with families affected by the Toyota recall.

At the moment, possible steering problems in about 487,000 Toyota Corolla and Matrix models are being investigated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If you believe your accident was caused by a defective Toyota, a lawyer may be able to help you file a claim for compensation for any injuries sustained in the accident.

The agency says it has nearly 200 consumer complaints on 2009-10 models that have lost control due to steering issues. This has reportedly resulted in numerous accidents and injuries.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is now requiring the Toyota corporation to reveal internal documents that indicate when it discovered the defective parts that are affecting over six million cars in America.

This investigation will review how Toyota learned of the defects, such as through consumer complaints or factory testing.

Officials are checking whether Toyota has covered all affected models in its recent recalls to ensure Toyota did not miss any problems.
