标 题: Approved death claims related to GM ignition switch recall rise to 121

DETROIT, MI - The number of approved death compensation claims related to a
recall of a faulty General Motors ignition switch has risen to 121, compared
to a total of 119 one week earlier.
The claims were approved by a fund set up by GM to compensate victims of a
defective part in mid-to-late-2000s model cars that has led to a massive
recall and a federal investigation.
The number of approved claims stood at just 19 in mid-September and had
grown steadily to 36 at the beginning of December and then to 42 in January.
They hit 57 in February, reached 90 in April, and stood at 100 in early May.
The victim compensation fund is being overseen by Kenneth Feinberg, a
Washington, D.C. attorney who oversaw similar compensation facilities for
disasters such as the BP Gulf of Mexico oil spill and the Sept. 11 terrorist
attacks. The GM ignition switch claims facility released its latest weekly
report Friday.
The deadline to file claims was Jan. 31.
The latest tally of claims received stands at 4,342, including 474 death
claims, 289 "Category One" injury claims, or those resulting in quadriplegia
, paraplegia, double amputation, permanent brain damage or pervasive burns,
and 3,579 "Category Two" injury claims, or injuries that required a hospital
visit within 48 hours of an accident.
Those numbers have remained unchanged for several weeks.
To date, there have been 372 claims determined eligible, a rise of 10 claims
over the past week. That total includes the 121 death claims, as well as 14
Category One injury claims and 237 Category Two claims.
According to the claims resolution facility's program statistics, 3,096
claims have been deemed ineligible, an increase from 3,027 claims in last
week's report, while 798 claims are considered deficient, versus 872 in the
last report. Another 76 remain under review, down from 81 in the previous
report.
GM has estimated that compensating all victims of the defective car part
could cost the Detroit automaker anywhere from $400-600 million.
GM has recalled 2.6 million vehicles, including 2.2 million in the U.S.,
affected by the ignition switch. The recall includes 2003-2007 Saturn Ions,
2007-2010 Saturn Skys, 2005-2011 Chevrolet HHRs, 2006-2010 Pontiac Solstices
, and 2005-10 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models.
The faulty ignition switches at the heart of the unprecedented recall can
move out of the "run" position to the "accessory" or "off" positions,
leading to a loss of power. The risk may be increased if the key ring is
carrying added weight or if the vehicle goes off road or experiences some
jarring event, including rough roads. If the key turns to one of those
positions, officials say the front air bags may not work if there's a crash.
