Pegasus Legal Funding, LLC, reported today that according to an article in The Detroit Bureau, General Motors Co. compensation fund has now approved 24 death claims for people killed as a result of defective ignition switches in since-recalled cars, in additional to 27 approved injury claims.

It utilizes a matrix involving different categorizes or classes of injuries. It determined injuries as either "Category One," which includes physical injuries resulting in quadriplegia, paraplegia, double amputation, permanent brain damage or pervasive burns or "Category Two," which are injuries requiring hospitalization or outpatient medical treatment within 48 hours of the accident. According to The Detroit Bureau, claims are being accepted until Dec. 31st. It is reported that the automaker has set aside as much as $600 million into the victims' fund to pay on approved claims. However, executives at the automaker have said there would be no limit on the payouts as Feinberg's team will have the final say on whether a payout is approved or not.
