Lawyers Ply the Internet to Score Clients for GM Lawsuits

Many lawyers are getting a crash course in internet marketing. They are using Google Adwords, Websites, Social Media and Domain name buying like there's no tomorrow!
Reuters has yet another article: Lawyers Ply the Internet to Score Clients for GM Lawsuits.

Take a recent class action against Toyota Motor Corp. Millions of plaintiffs said they suffered economic losses after the company recalled millions of vehicles for sudden acceleration problems. The lawyers took home $200 million in fees and $27 million in expenses in a settlement valued at $1.6 billion that was approved by a federal judge last year.

GM recalled 1.6 million cars last month because a faulty ignition switch was able to turn off a car's engine, disable its airbags and make steering difficult. The problem has been linked to 12 deaths, the company says

A search for the term "GM recall lawsuits" Tuesday afternoon showed that plaintiffs' firms had the three top ad spots on Google. A search of "GM" and "sue" turned up an ad for Kline & Specter, a Philadelphia-based personal injury firm.

It;s going to be a busy summer for the lawyers and plaintiffs alike!
