Comments on: GM Bankruptcy May Thwart Lawsuits

Claimants Against Automaker Wary Of How They Will Be Affected By Potential Chapter 11

Although this is a tragic result of an accident, a little more about the circumstances of this event, how, when and why the vehicle hit a tree. Who or what was at fault in the accident? This missing info leads me to believe that to the blame is being pushed off to the big bucks at GM like so many other accidents involving human error or misjudgement. If the vehicle was defective and ran into the tree there may be an issue but who says you are injury or death proof wearing a seatbelt? If the glass in vehicle accident cuts you or a vehicle part breaks, bends, etc. and causes injury whose to blame? We all take for granted that that 1-2 ton mass will protect us but to what point, You are not surround by thick foam or protective bubbles like mailing a package. It seem like there is more to this story that what has been presented. I'd like to see more facts.

If you were one of the victims of the policy of "acceptable liability", which weighs the cost of fixing defects against the potential lawsuit liability, you would also be all for it.

Unbelievable.....GD stinking lawyers want the taxpayer to cough up even more bucks to line their pockets and undeserving people

First of all, no medical bills should total a 1/2 million dollars a year.

This is one of the reasons why GM is bankrupt because of HMO's and the overhead that's crushing health-care in this country.

As soon as Wall Street/City of London got it's way with Richard Nixon, they figured out a way to bankrupt health-care in this country by making it solely for profit, that way inflation could run un-checked and people could be denied care on the excuse that it's too expensive.

All of the research at the the Universities is subsidized by the government so why in the hell would we allow Wall Street/City of London to scoop all of the iligetimate profits and gains from health-care.

Health-care should not be an 'industry' like the music business, it should be a basic service component of a progressive optimal society that's free from oligarchs and paper-billionaires sucking blood out of the system through bail-outs.

Obama obviously is on the side of the banksters and that means we the people are going to be left out in the cold.

Thanks Obama, for bailing out Wall Street, I hope you can sleep at night when you tell the American people that there's no more money left to treat them.

The litigants should go after the UAW and the government with civil lawsuits.

And if you simply turned the key to the ON position, and waited until the fuel pump had finished pressurizing the injector rails in about 6 seconds, THEN tried cranking, what happened?

Increasing GM's debt in order to solve GM's debt problem seems to have failed. What gives Obama the impression it will be any different with America?

[walt1944]

Repairing defective equipment on their vechiles has never been a high priority at GM.

I had a 2005 Chevy Malibu which would sometimes not start. I would have to crank it 3 times before the thing finally turned over. The dealer told me GM was aware of the problem, but no recalls had come thru, so if I wanted it fixed (if the dealer could find out what it was), I would have to pay the full cost. I have talked to other Malibu owners and found out the problem goes back to 1999!!! And GM is still working on it!!!!

They are just like any other Corporate America entity. Do as little R & D and safety testing as possible and let the consumer do the remainder of it .

And we are having to "rescue" GREEDY companies like this!!!

HAIL OBAMA????
