New York SUV rollover Accident Attorney Notice – Former lawyer of Toyota Corp filed lawsuit against the company for withholding research about SUV rollovers.
Toyota Motor Corporation held in litigation by former company lawyer for hiding evidence about rollover accidents from plaintiff.
New York, NY (NewYorkInjuryNews.com) – Former company lawyer of Toyota Motor Corporation may demand that rollover cases, that the company settled or won, may be re-visited due to present allegations that Toyota kept records secret from certain plaintiffs, announced Bloomberg.
The former lawyer of Toyota, identified as, Dimitrios Biller, has since filed a lawsuit against the corporation for keeping information provided by research studies from plaintiff’s in more than 300 lawsuits, where the research was a vital part in the case of SUV roll-over accidents.
Biller’s claim, when he filed in July 2009, was that Toyota and its United States divisions destroyed the pertinent research that contained evidence to support the plaintiff’s claims about Toyota SUV’s in rollover accidents. When he was employed by Toyota, the former lawyer maintained the electronic document discovery program, he stated in court.
The claim brought against Toyota would begin the re-opening of every lawsuit closed in the past ten years, reported an attorney. The intention of the lawyer is to re-visit all the cases.

Toyota presenting has 27 million vehicles on the road in the U.S. Toyota Spokes woman Sona Iliffe-Moon, said that the amount of rollover claims by Biller is much less. However, Toyota’s spokeswoman is did not comment on the 3.7 million dollars that Biller received after he claimed that he had been unfairly let go from Toyota, along with a copy of the settlement to back up his complaint.
Toyota’s spokes woman announced that Toyota is a company that strives to live professional and ethical value and expressed their regrets that Biller had decided to file against them. A vehicle industry analyst of HIS Global Insight Inc, made a statement about case stating that if the accusations are proven, then many people may lose their confidence in Toyota.
