SAN FRANCISCO — A woman whose daughter died in 2007 when her Toyota Yaris unexpectedly accelerated and plunged off of a Pennsylvania highway filed suit in Central District court on Monday, represented by San Francisco lawyers at Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein.
Seeking general and punitive damages against Toyota Motor North America Inc., and other subsidiaries of the automaker, the suit alleges that the crash was caused by a product defect that has resulted in other injuries and deaths nationwide. The complaint draws on numerous media reports on federal investigations of the sudden acceleration problems and the automaker’s recent recall of certain models.
