In separate but identical filings, seven insurance companies are suing Toyota Motor Corp. to recoup claims paid as a result of accidents related to unintended acceleration problems that led to recalls of some of Toyota's vehicles.
The lawsuits filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court allege Toyota defects were the cause of the accidents, and the auto manufacturer “knew or should have known that the subject Toyota vehicles were defectively designed and inherently dangerous, and have the propensity to suddenly accelerate and cause loss of control.”
