LOS ANGELES, Feb 12, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Robert J. Nelson of the national plaintiffs' law firm Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, LLP, announced that Jacquelyn Donoghue of Holdrege, Nebraska, filed a lawsuit against Toyota Motor Corporation and Toyota Motor Sales, Inc., seeking compensation for injuries to herself and for the death of her husband John Donoghue in a sudden unintended acceleration accident. The complaint was filed today in Federal court in Los Angeles, California, where Toyota Motor Sales, Inc., has its headquarters.
Since 2001, the electronic throttle system in most Toyota vehicles, including the 2006 Toyota Prius driven by Jacquelyn Donoghue, has relied on sensors, microprocessors and electronic motors instead of a mechanical linkage, such as steel cable, to connect the accelerator pedal to the engine throttle plate.
