Who Are You Going to Class Action Lawsuit Against?
As one of the largest car manufacturers in the world, Chryslers have been involved in numerous Class Action Lawsuits. Most Class Action Lawsuits was won by the Claimants who were able to receive monetary compensation because of injuries or other damages as a result of having driven or being exposed to dangerous conditions while operating a Chryslers automobile. The Class Action Lawsuit against Chrysler was not only for the death of Mr. Joseph L.yer, the owner of the Jeep. The Class Action Lawsuit charged that certain defects in the design and manufacturing of the Jeep caused Mr. L.yer to be gravely injured and eventually died as a result of these defective products. Other Class Action Lawsuits related to the design, manufacture, sale and operation of Chryslers involved injuries suffered by workers who were employed at the GM plant tendon, OH and at the Chrysler assembly plant in Detroit, MI.
Class Action Lawsuit Against Chrysler Jeep
On May 7, 2021, the lawsuit was filed on behalf of Mr. Joseph L.yer, the husband of the deceased victim who was killed in the accident. According to the complaint, the defendant-Chrysler knew or should have known that it was exposing its vehicle and its drivers to life threatening and adverse conditions on a regular basis, yet chose to ignore those conditions and failed to provide a safe workplace environment.
A Class Action Lawsuit can be filed on behalf of an individual who has suffered an injury or who has died as a result of exposure to defective products, in a case involving a commercial vehicle manufacturer. However, if the case involves a private car maker, the Class Action Lawsuit can also be filed on behalf of all those persons who have either suffered a physical injury or who have lost their lives as a result of the negligence of the manufacturer.
In this case, the plaintiffs are asking for compensatory and punitive damages, as well as legal costs.
An order of judgment in this case could be life altering for the Claimants and all beneficiaries of the Claim. A Class Action Lawsuit can only be filed when there is a case filed by a named individual or group who is pursuing a civil claim on a tort claim, that is, damages on the basis of negligence, whether it is a manufacturing defect or non-manufacturing error.
In general such cases cannot proceed further unless the defendant shows cause for the Claim, which can be proven by the production of adequate evidence. There are a few exceptions to this principle, such as when the injury or damage was caused by the actions or inactions of another, or when proof of negligence can be established through indirect sources.
In this case, the Jeep was driven on a public road by a careless and negligent vehicle operator.
The car manufacturers, including Chrysler, knew or should have known that their vehicle was dangerous. This is one of the most common negligence claims filed in the United States. As with any vehicle accident lawsuit, if you are injured because of the negligence of others, the liable party may attempt to deflect the liability by asserting that you sustained your injuries without actually being at fault.
It is extremely important that you take the time to select a Class Action Lawsuit lawyer to represent you in the lawsuit.
Not only will you want to obtain monetary compensation for your suffering, but you will also want to be heard in a court of law and to have the chance to be properly represented. Only a highly experienced attorney with a proven track record of winning class action suits can ensure your rights are protected and that you receive fair compensation for your pain and suffering.
In the past, if you were injured in a car accident, you had very limited legal options. If you were injured due to the negligence of someone else, your only option to seek recompense was to file a personal injury lawsuit in a small claims court. With the explosion of personal injury cases in the past few decades, including automobile accidents, there have been tremendous advancements in personal injury law. Now, if you have suffered injuries in an automobile accident that was the fault of a third party, you have the right to file a lawsuit to hold the responsible party or companies accountable for your injuries.
I own a worthless 2008 Jeep Rubicon 2dr, that I cannot drive at all, due to the death wobble. I have had this Jeep since I bought it brand new, from a legitimate Chrysler dealership here in the state of Utah. After numerous times of returning the Jeep to the dealership and complaining of the frontend wobbling and shaking to the core of the Jeep, I was ignored, sometimes laughed at, and the fact that I am a girl, I became the brunt of their jokes and told that it is just the way that I drive. It is all in your head. I finally gave up trying to get the dealership to take me serious, due to the fact that it was a brand new vehicle when I bought it. After giving up on the dealership, I called Chrysler Corp, only to be told that they do not understand my problem and that I need to see the dealership. I was thrown back and forth between the two. I took it upon myself to try and get someone outside the ‘Jeep family’, to take me seriously. I paid my tire dealership over $5000 to repair the wobble but they had no idea what to do, and no other mechanic shop wanted to touch it in case it would void the warranty, understandably. I have had to live with the danger of this vehicle due to the fact that Chrysler won’t even acknowledge that there is a real, life threatening, dangerous problem here. I bought the Jeep in Feb 2008. It is now July 2022. I cannot drive my Jeep anywhere over 55mph. It is a road hazard and a danger to other vehicles. I have been late to work numerous times due to having to slow down & pull off the road within 5 seconds, while the entire time the Jeep is shaking violently. It is so humiliating to be seen in it! And to think I gave Chrysler Corp. my good faith and trust by investing in their company, while they laugh at my safety and the safety of my family?? I will NEVER own another Chrysler product! The fact is, I cannot come up with any more money to have anyone else look at the Jeep to repair it! I am tapped out on money to dump into the Jeep. WHen I bought it, I figured that it would be my final treat to myself, a brand new Jeep that I can keep for the rest of my life and be buried in! HA! I never thought that it would be due to the safety violations!
Now, I understand that there have been lawsuits pending for the exact same problems for Jeeps that are 2015 and newer. So, I get screwed again because my vehicle is out of warranty and cannot be included in the lawsuit! Does that make anyone else upset?? It really upsets me due to the fact that I have had to deal with this issue from 2008 to 2022, longer than any newer buyer! But I can say, my Jeep sure looks good parked in my driveway. The oil stains underneath the Jeep testify and are proof that I am on my 4th leaky front axle. Even after all the money I sacrificed to pay for the POS in full, my dreams were shot right when I signed on that dotted line. So, I cannot drive it. I cannot sell it! No one wants to test drive a vehicle that wants to kill them. Noone wants to hear the truth. The truth is, I was faithful in abiding to Chryslers rules in their binding contract. I went without food to make sure Chrysler was happy with me every month and eventually I paid that hunk of junk off that I am now stuck with it! I cannot afford to take on any new payments! I feel that Chrysler breeched their contract when they told me that the death wobble does not exist! They LIED. I have had to live with this death wobble issue for so long that I hate any Jeep product! WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO!
I have had to purchase 2 other jalopy vehicles and keep them going at the same time making payments to Chrysler on a vehicle that I cannot drive! It is NOT SAFE! Just ask the people who have followed me and was witness to the horrifying drive to and from work! I have had them pull over and ask me if I was ok due to the fact that they saw for themselves how frightened my children were when it happened! Can anyone see or read or hear my frustration? I cannot be the only Jeep owner with this issue but I don’t know what else to do or where to turn. I feel that Chrysler has KNOWINGLY placed me in a vehicle that was unsafe from the day that I bought it. I want them to buy the Jeep back! They can place their own family’s in it and see what happens. They can have the Jeep back! I just want to be reimbursed! Noone should be screwed like this by any car manufacture! The way they have endangered my life, the lives of my family, and now the biggest slap of all, it’s out of warranty so I cannot sue??? I am ready to March and Boycott the entire organization! Somebody please help me! Is there Anyone out there that can help?? PLEASE???
