According to Bloomberg News (1/26, Sandler, 2.94M) the 50 death claims ruled as eligible on Monday are four times larger than GM’s initial estimate. Bloomberg reports that Feinberg said his findings relied on circumstantial evidence. “GM engineers were looking for definitive proof of ignition switch failure,” Feinberg said, “So of course there will be a greater number of eligible death claims.” The story was also reported by Reuters (1/26), Auto World News (1/26, Ecarma, 1K), and Autoblog (1/26, Bigelow, 454K).
