Recalls
There have been massive amounts of recalls being issued in regards to airbags within the last couple of years. Airbags failing to deploy or improperly deploying are a major cause of concern. These parts are incorporated into vehicles to keep us safe, but lately one has to wonder what is going on. Vehicles Impacted By This Recall
- Certain models of 2016 Land Rover Range Rover and Range Rover Sport vehicles.
There is a possibility that the front passenger side airbag inflator initiator may fail to ignite. This basically means that the airbag will not deploy upon impact if the initiator does not ignite. Your passengers rely on you and your vehicle to get them to their destination safely. If your vehicle's airbags are not functioning properly, personal injuries are more likely to occur, should an accident happen.
These types of vehicles are prominent in Florida, so it is important for residents to know about this information. We are perfectly capable of handling all of your personal injury law needs, but if they can be avoided, that is even better. If you or anyone that you know drive either of these models, do some research on the recall and understand the risks associated with it to your personal safety.
If you do receive an injury, keep good records of the incident. The date, time, and way in which the injury was sustained are all important items to have properly documented. Doctor visits, prescriptions, and other injury-related costs should also be recorded and documented. These items will help your personal injury claim.
