Dallas attorney wants Toyota suits reopened in wake of fraud allegations

After learning of allegations that Toyota withheld or destroyed safety data and other electronic documents, Dallas attorney Todd Tracy is seeking more money from the automaker by filing a lawsuit that will reopen 16 of his product liability cases.

Tracy argues that if Toyota withheld evidence and requested documents, it committed acts of racketeering, fraud, discovery abuse, misrepresentation and violated court orders.

The lawsuit names Toyota Motor Corp., Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A. Inc, and Toyota executives, Christopher Reynolds, Jane Howard Martin, Eric Taira and Dian Oglivie as defendants.

Tracy, who has based his entire legal practice on automobile product liability suits, is one of many attorneys revisiting closed cases.
