When crash victims Raul and Diana Lopez settled their claims against Toyota, they had no reason to believe the company had engaged in misconduct, their complaint says -- until former Toyota in-house lawyer Dimitrios Biller filed his own lawsuit against the company alleging discovery violations.

(TMS) announced a recall of driver’s-side floor mats on Tuesday — after reports that they’d caused accelerators to stick, leading to deadly crashes — the company suggested a quick fix.
