Welcome to Gm Chrysler victims I am sorry that a web site like this has to even exist, on August 3 2008 my mom was tragically killed in a park to reverse in a Chrysler minivan and since then we filed a lawsuit against Chrysler to hold them responsible for this product defect. Like most of you we have been greatly affected by the Chrysler bankruptcy, after petitions to fight the free and clear sale of Chrysler to Fiat with the bankruptcy court, 2nd district court and the supreme court, our efforts have failed.

The fight is no where close to being over, we will continue with media coverage to pressure Chrysler and GM to take on these liabilities. We will also continue to push our government leaders to require these companies that took our hard earned tax payer dollars to purchase a retro active liability insurance policy.

Please join us at GM Chrysler Victims to continue the fight, and hopefully begin the healing process. We have many features to include blogs, forums and a community that is all open to any registered user, and if there is something you would like to have, feel free to contact us.
