From the supplier: A California appeals court ruled in General Motors Corp. v. Superior Court that a woman injured by an allegedly defective seat belt could bring suit despite the fact that the one-year statute of limitations had run. The court found the statute of limitations was tolled because a secret settlement entered into by GM resulted in the plaintiff being denied access to the fact that a problem existed with the seat belt. The plaintiff's counsel is asking for punitive damages because GM had known of the problem for years and failed to correct it.
