Jury Awards $8.5M To A Woman Against Nissan

Introduction

A jury awarded $8.5 million to a lady who lost her left eye and seriously impair her right eye after an airbag deployed following a car accident. The Infiniti QX4 was struck in the front corner by another vehicle on October 5, 2018, triggering the airbag to deploy while the woman was seated in the front passenger seat. The plaintiff filed a lawsuit against Nissan Motor Company, claiming that the airbag deployed too late had a design error, and Nissan Motor Company was aware of it before the collision that resulted in her injuries. According to a statement published by the law firms after the jury's verdict, the lawsuit filed by attorneys said that the airbag's system design was flawed and it deployed too late, causing the airbag to rapidly inflate after the lady had made contact with the bag. According to the complaint and the statement, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration informed Nissan that the airbag was overwhelmed before the event and the NHTSA instructed Nissan to lower the bag inflator power. According to the founding partner of Greene & Phillips, this decision is all about holding automakers accountable for making money off of disproportionately deadly goods. Unfortunately, our client had no means of knowing the car's airbag was faulty; Nissan was the only one who did. We are grateful that the residents of Mobile County, Alabama, made it plain that they would not tolerate automakers creating risky goods.
