Date Set for General Motor’s First Safety-Defects Trial

January 11, 2016 is the date a federal judge in Manhattan has set for the first trial against General Motors for a multitude of safety issues including faulty ignition switches that could cause it to slip out of position, cutting power to air bags, steering and brakes. 

There are approximately 130 lawsuits against General Motors for personal injury and wrongful death and lost vehicle value as a result of vehicle recalls. As of yet it has not been determined what model of vehicle the trail will address.
