The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is currently investigating both GM and Honda for airbag problems that have resulted in multiple recalls on thousands of vehicles. The GM vehicle defect may be linked to electrical problems that prevent the bags from deploying, though the company has failed to identify the actual cause, which has prompted the NHTSA to further investigate. The Honda recall was based on the spontaneous deployment of airbags, which has resulted in some injuries and dozens of complaints.
Understanding Your Rights
When you are injured or a loved one is killed by a defective product, you have every right to hold the manufacturer responsible and seek maximum compensation – even in cases where a product has neither been recalled nor prompted an investigation. If you are harmed by a product while using it in its intended manner, you have a right to seek compensation for all of your damages.
Product liability cases can be incredibly complex and demand an experienced attorney to properly navigate. Trying to seek compensation by yourself is often futile and may even result in additional financial losses.
