Book Description
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO examined the agreement between Ford Motor Company and the Department of Transportation that closed the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) investigation of an alleged transmission defect in certain 1970-79 model year automobiles. As a result of increased injuries and fatalities due to allegedly faulty automobile transmissions, the manufacturer and NHTSA entered into an agreement in 1980 to inform owners of the proper parking procedures to use before exiting their vehicles. GAO found that the: (1) manufacturer will monitor the case by collecting incident and fatality data and investigating newly reported fatalities, and will inform consumers about the problem; (2) NHTSA incident and fatality data analyses are incomplete; and (3) manufacturer's vehicles are not the only ones with faulty transmissions.

The Liability Maze
Author: Peter W. Huber
Publisher: Brookings Institution Press
ISBN: 0815720181
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 529
Book Description
With an ever-increasing number of liability lawsuits, are corporations electing to play it safe rather than risk the uncertainties accompanying innovation? In The Liability Maze experts address the issues surrounding safety and innovation and present the most detailed and comprehensive study to date on the actual impact of U.S. liability law. In recent decades it has been widely assumed that liability laws promote safety by significantly raising the price companies must pay for negligence, product defects and accidents. More recently, others have suggested that the broad and unpredictable sweep of these laws actually deters innovation. The risks of lawsuits are so great that corporations are showing more caution in product innovation than ever before. The contributors focus on five sectors of the economy where the liability system appears to have had the greatest effects, positive or negative: the private aircraft, automobile, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries, and the medical profession. They suggest that in many sectors liability law has hampered innovation. In others it has stimulated safety improvements, although perhaps not so much as vigilant safety regulations.
