General Motors compensation fund has approved 27 death claims for people killed as a result of defective ignition switches in since-recalled cars, an increase of three since last week — and it has now approved 25 injury claims, up from 16 a week earlier, the fund said in a report Monday.
That’s up about 25 percent over last week, when it had approved 40 total claims.

The number of claims filed jumped 20 percent to 1,371 as of Friday up from 1,130 as of the prior week; the number of claims for deaths rose to 178, up from 165.
