(Bloomberg) -- The lawyer hired by General Motors Co.reported 100 deaths classified as having been caused by defectiveignition switches on recalled small cars and aims to complete theprocess this summer.

There are 37 death and 589 injury claims still under review byKenneth Feinberg, who was appointed by the Detroit-based carmakerto run a compensation fund for victims, according to the lateststatistics released Monday. There have been 184 injury claimsapproved for compensation as of May 8, according to the update fromthe fund.

No word on amount the fund has paid onclaims

“We’re hoping for all of them to be finished by the end ofJuly,” Camille Biros, deputy fund administrator, said by phone. “Ifwe can do it faster than that, we will, but that seems reasonableat this point.”

The remaining work includes finishing reviews and revisitingclaims labeled deficient and those submitted without anydocumentation, in case victims’ families can provide more evidence,she said. She declined to specify the amount the fund has paid onclaims.

The largest U.S. automaker in March settled a lawsuit over thedeath of Brooke Melton, whose case helped trigger theignition-switch recall. Chief Executive Officer Mary Barra toldCongress last year she didn’t know how serious the problem wasuntil shortly before the recall was ordered, citing at the time 13deaths linked to the defect. In addition to picking Feinberg tohandle claims, she hired former U.S. attorney Anton Valukas toinvestigate why it took GM so long to uncover the flaw.

2.59 million GM vehicles recalled

The small-car ignition-switch recall began last year ultimatelyincluded 2.59 million vehicles, including Chevrolet Cobalt andSaturn Ion models.

GM fell 0.3 percent to $35.22 at the close in New York. Theautomaker’s shares have gained 0.9 percent this year throughMonday, trailing the 2.3 percent rise in the Standard & Poor’s500 Index.
