Recalls
If everything always went according to plan, people's lives would be great. Unfortunately, stuff does go wrong from time to time, and folks get hurt in the process. For example, just about everyone has heard at least a little bit about the Takata airbag or GM ignition switch recalls. These incidents led to both injuries and deaths. In fact, research from the NHTSA states that the Takata issue has resulted in 23 deaths and over 300 injuries worldwide to date. Meanwhile, according to an article from Fortune, the ignition switch dilemma has been linked to 124 deaths and 275 injuries. So, it is of the utmost importance for consumers to hear about recalls promptly and take the appropriate action to get the problem fixed. After all, the last thing people want is to be involved in a car crash. Aside from drivers and passengers losing their lives, common damages from wrecks include...
• Traumatic Brain Injuries
• Broken Bones
• Lacerations
• Burns
• Injuries To The Neck And Spine

Should You Contact A Personal Injury Lawyer?
When goods and products make it to the market, they are supposed to be safe for consumers to use. Manufacturer's liability is a legal concept that holds sellers responsible for the harm that their items cause. Proving fault in such cases is easier said than done though. Big corporations have legal teams on retainer. They wait in the wings for claims to arise and stop at nothing to discredit them. In many instances, these attorneys will even go as far as to blame the victim for the accident.
