Plano lawyer Richard Armstrong, with over 20 years in injury cases, declared this week that swift legal action in the Toyota gas pedal cases is critical.

“One class action has already been filed in California, and another in Ohio” stated Armstrong. Others are yet to come.  If an individual has been seriously injured, or—God forbid—killed through negligent manufacture or delayed recall, he had better file suit quickly before Toyota is brought to its knees by group claims and government pressure.”

“We have seen this happen in other types of cases,” continued Armstrong, “ranging from Bendectin in the pharmaceuticals field to the class action tobacco suits of the late nineties. The company may either not survive, or be so crippled by the breadth of the problem that it ceases to exist in its known form.” According to Armstrong, the writing is on the wall. Aggrieved Toyota owners who have been seriously injured and can determine their damages, should assert their claims sooner rather than later. “Later on,” he states, “after the big class actions are resolved, may be too late for these folks to be made whole.”
