The compensation fund created by General Motors to pay claims resulting from injuries and deaths linked to a defective ignition switch found in a handful of 2003 through 2007 compact models has approved a total of 24 death claims for payout.
According to The Detroit News, the overall number of claims jumped 30 percent last week, from 867 to 1,130, while total death claims rose from 153 to 165.
Regarding injury claims, 79 for serious injury and 886 for less-serious injury cases were received, up from 70 and 644 respectively the week previous. The number of approved injury claims still stands at 16.
Finally, around 90 to 100 claims were found not eligible for payouts, while 30 victims and their families received settlement offers from the multi-million dollar fund.
Claims will be accepted until December 31, 2014.
