Senator Claire McCaskill Questions GM CEO Mary Barra

April 12, 2014

On April 2, 2014 former trial lawyer Senator Claire McCaskill questioned General Motors CEO Mary Barra at a hearing in the Senate’s Subcommittee on Consumer Protection, Product Safety, and Insurance.

Sen. McCaskill explained that GM chose not to fix a defective ignition switch and as a result life was lost.

The only way to hold corporations accountable when they put profits over people, and government agencies when their systems fail to protect the public, is the civil justice system.
