Product Liability / Wrongful Death

Preview:

An adult driver died when his vehicle's airbag deployed suddenly without any collision, causing him to lose control and leave the roadway — a clear product defect that Lowe Trial Lawyers pursued to a confidential settlement.

Content:

An adult driver died from injuries caused by a sudden airbag deployment that occurred without any impact or collision event that would ordinarily trigger airbag activation. The unexpected deployment caused the driver to lose control of the vehicle, which left the roadway and struck a grove of trees.

Airbag systems are designed to deploy only in the event of a significant collision. An unprovoked deployment while a vehicle is being driven under normal conditions represents a serious manufacturing or design defect. The sudden inflation of the airbag in the driver's face, without any crash event, created an immediate and deadly hazard.

Lowe Trial Lawyers established that the airbag system contained a defect that caused its unexpected deployment and pursued the case on behalf of the driver's family. The case was resolved through a confidential settlement.
