I really appreciated the fact that Mr. Dodson hired a professional expert to measure and make an evaluation about the place where I fell. The whole process was handled very well. Both Judi and Mr. Dodson were very nice and my experience working with them was professional.

Toyota Stuck Gas Pedal Causes St. Pete Car Accident | Florida Product Defect Lawyer

What: 4 injured in Toyota gas pedal accident
Where: St. Petersburg | Central Avenue
Who: Hoai Luong | Tuan Minh Tran | Luis Anaya-Munoz

A faulty Toyota gas pedal caused the driver of a Toyota Camry to accelerate out of control and ram into the vehicle in front of her, triggering a chain reaction. The accident occurred about 8:30 pm Monday night.

The driver of the Toyota, Hoai Luong, 54, of St. Petersburg, was not hurt in the accident. Luong, and the owner of the car, Tuan Minh Tran, told police that their car is included in Toyota's recall of more than 4.2 million vehicles with gas pedals that stick.

In a news article, police report, Tran told them he took the 2007 Camry to a dealership on Sunday to have the pedal inspected.
Accident reports said Luong was driving the Toyota Camry north on 34th Street and approached the intersection of Central Avenue when the accelerator pedal got stuck.

The Toyota accelerated out of control and crashed into the rear of a 1985 Chrysler sedan driven by Luis Anaya-Munoz, 54, of Largo.

The impact of the collision caused a chain reaction as Munoz struck the car in front of him while Luong's Camry flipped onto its roof, through the intersection and crashed into a Nissan sedan driving south.

Injuries in the crash were said to not be life-threatening, but some drivers and passengers were taken to area hospital.

Mr. Munoz is my mother's husband and is pretty banged up. He is still in ICU. I thought I had seen an article earlier in the week asking Toyota owners not to operate their vehicles if its included in the recall. What is my stepfather's recourse here??
