How to Claim for GM ignition switch defect Compensation?

Victim of physical injury or death caused of defective GM ignition switch can claim at GMIgnitionCompensation.com to get their part of compensation within few clicks!

General Motors links 13 deaths because of its defective ignition switch in cars like the Chevrolet Cobalt and Saturn Ion. Its faulty ignition switches caused vehicles losing power, inadvertently shut off, stiffening steering and brakes and causing air bags not to deploy, etc. GM already recognized about this problem as early as in 2001, in preproduction models of the Saturn Ion, however it didn't issue a recall until February of current year. Lawyer Kenneth R. Feinberg, a compensation expert, was hired by GM to design and administer the fund. A first assessment of Feinberg’s plan offered during Monday’s (30th June, 2014) news conference to some family members of people who died of accidents in vehicles linked to the defective ignition switches. Here, GM also agreed to pay million dollars each to the families of people killed in crashes along with those severely injured in accidents caused by defective ignition switches.

The Facility will use the calculation methodologies to decide the amount of compensation to be paid.
To receive economic loss compensation, a claimant submitting death claim is asked to select between tracks A & B. Track A is for Presumptive Compensation and Track B is for Complete Economic Analysis. For non-economic loss in both tracks, Claimant submitting a death claim will receive

$1,000,000 for the death of the decedent
$ 300,000 for the surviving spouse
$ 300,000 for each surviving dependent of the decedent

Besides death claim, economic loss compensation for claimants submitting claim of a Category One Physical Injury will be calculated in the same way under Track A or Track B. When it comes to non-economic loss, Claimants submitting a Category One Physical Injury Claim are provided but here is no need of long term life-care plan. Now, under Category Two Physical Injury Claims, if Claimants were physically injured and hospitalized for one or more nights as a result of the accident within 48 hours, they will receive the following compensation:

Hospitalization of no less than 32 overnights: $500,000.00
Hospitalization of 24 to 31 overnights: $385,000.00
Hospitalization of 16 to 23 overnights: $260,000.00
Hospitalization of 8 to 15 overnights: $170,000.00
