Evidence Destruction Claims Against Toyota Must Be Arbitrated

Toyota Lawsuit Ordered to ArbitrationFormer In-house attorney for Toyota sued the company in federal court alleging that Toyota destroyed or concealed evidence in personal injury cases involving injury victims of rollover accidents and claims of product liability.

This case might sound familiar – Dimitrios Biller’s lawsuit and claims have found onto Legal Blog before.  The Federal Judge in the case, U.S. District Judge George H. King of the Central District of California, has ruled that Biller’s case must proceed to arbitration as opposed to going forward to a jury trial.

Biller’s lawsuit, had the potential to pry open numerous personal injury and product liability cases brought by personal injury victims of rollovers.

It is unclear now that arbitration has been ordered, if Biller’s case has the same potential for past personal injury actions.
