Filing a Lawsuit After a Recalled Toyota Accident (Part B)
Competing theories exist in relation to the accidents involving recalled Toyotas.
Toyota claims that the accelerator pedals either become “sticky” or else get trapped under the floor mats. They are offering to replace floor mats and/or pedals to remedy the situation. Many of the lawsuits brought against Toyota argue that the electronic throttle system is to blame instead of the floor mats.

Liable Parties in an Accident Involving Recalled Toyota Vehicle
If you were injured in a motor vehicle accident that involved a recalled Toyota, you can file a personal injury claim against the company, even if the vehicle did not belong to you. There are a variety of factors to consider for each unique case, however, so talk to a Boston car accident lawyer for specific guidance in your case.
Sometimes it is hard to determine whether it was another driver or the car itself that caused your injuries. Your Boston car accident lawyer can help you obtain the information needed to figure if the other driver is liable for your car accident injuries.
Another consideration is if you were injured while operating a recalled Toyota automobile from a rental agency. In that case, you would likely seek damages from multiple sources. Your car accident lawyer would sue both Toyota for the deficient product as well as the car rental agency for their negligence in renting you the vehicle.
It would be in your best interest to consult with an experienced Boston personal injury attorney that specializes in car accidents involving recalled vehicles in Massachusetts. It is important that the lawyer has handled these types of cases and that they understand defective product litigation.
