Even as Toyota reports that complaints about sudden, unwanted acceleration in its cars have declined, the lawsuits will go on, at least for now. Allstate is the latest plaintiff to file suit, as the insurance company went to Los Angeles County Superior Court late last week and sued the maker for $3 million.

That's the amount Allstate claims to have paid out in claims related to approximately 725 accidents allegedly linked to sudden acceleration. Said accidents apparently resulted in 304 injuries and 18 fatalities.

This shouldn't come as a surprise, as another big insurance company, State Farm, prefabricated the news back in February, noting that it had received a stream of consumer complaints on this issue as far back as 2007 — and had notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
