The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is investigating
airbags installed in older Nissan Altimas. The investigation involves more than a quarter million vehicles manufactured in 1994 and 1995. In recent years, NHTSA statistics indicate seventy-five injuries from the force of deploying airbags in these vehicles. More than thirty people have suffered
eye injuries when the airbags deployed. Most of those injured report they were wearing
seatbelts during the deployment.
If you have been injured by a defective airbag, it may be important to
contact an attorney who can help you protect your legal rights. Please keep in mind that there may be
time limits within which you must commence suit.
