GM CEO Mary Barra will be deposed in October by lawyers representing consumers suing the company over the defective ignition switches equipped on millions of recalled vehicles.
- The lawyers leading the class action personal injury and death lawsuits against GM say the depositions of GM executives will begin May 6, including many of the 15 former lawyers and executives fired by Barra last year after an internal investigation, and continue for five months concluding with the deposition of the CEO on Oct. 8.
- The class action lawyers say documents turned over by GM raise questions about the internal report, and suggest that GM is involved in a coverup of what happened.
- The coming depositions precede a trial in the consolidated lawsuits against GM in New York that is set for January.
