Cash payouts for General Motors accident victims
If enacted, certain GM accident victims in the 2015 Campbell case would get a one-time cash payment. You would be eligible only if you filed a proof of claim in the GM bankruptcy for death or injury tied to alleged defects in vehicles or parts made on or before June 1, 2009, and you are a plaintiff, class member, or putative class member in that case. Each payment would equal 2.5 times your allowed bankruptcy claim, plus interest at 3.5% per year, compounded quarterly from July 10, 2009 to the settlement date, plus court‑approved attorney fees and costs, paid without offsets. The U.S. would make these payments to resolve the claim. The bill would also remove any statute of limitations for these specific takings claims tied to the Campbell complaint.
