COMMENTS: Crippling Costs
The woes of the automobile industry have been out of the news for the last couple of weeks, what with Michael Jackson and the Iranian elections. CBS had Randall Pinkston catch up with an angle on General Motors' bankruptcy that ABC's Brian Ross covered at the start of the month. Not only will "bondholders, vendors, lawyers and everyone else" be paid pennies on the dollars owed them, but also those crippled in accidents caused by negligently manufactured vehicles. Pinkston introduced us to Amanda Dinnigan, a girl whose neck was broken by a General Motors passenger seatbelt. She went to court to get the $500K she needs for quadriplegic care annually but reorganization will likely nullify her lawsuit.
