GM sued by more than 600 recall victims

More than 600 victims of crashes involving recalled General Motors cars have gone to federal court seeking compensation from the automaker, according to a report by CNNMoney.

Most of the victims, including 29 who died, can't receive money from a compensation fund set up by GM to pay victims of the recall of 2.6 million vehicles for faulty ignition switches. These victims' vehicles were not part of the recall, according to the report.

The compensation fund does not include money for over 26 million other cars and trucks recalled so far this year for a variety of problems, most of which did not involve ignition switches, according to CNNMoney.

"This makes absolutely no sense that the fund is restricted to the first 2.6 million vehicles initially recalled for ignition switch issues," said Robert Hilliard, a Corpus Christi, Texas, personal injury attorney who has been one of the leading attorneys pressing GM on the recall crisis. "GM needs to step up and acknowledge the blood on its hands from all of these recalled cars."
