Beasley Allen recently settled a wrongful death case against a major automobile manufacturer involving the failure of a seat belt to restrain the driver during a rollover crash.
Our firm tried a product liability case last month involving a seat belt system in a passenger car that failed in a single vehicle rollover. The case, filed in an Alabama state court, was against the car manufacturer and the supplier of the seat belts. Our clients were a husband and wife whose lives were changed forever as a result of this incident, which occurred in 2004. After 7 days of trial, the case was finally settled.
A Montgomery lawyer will ask a vehicle safety company to recall 15,000 defective seat belts, despite the company's contention the buckles meet federal safety guidelines.
Mr. Freeman, a truck driver, was killed when he was ejected from the large truck (tractortrailer) he was driving on an Alabama highway back in 2005. IMMI was the manufacturer of a seat belt buckle which was part of the safety restraint in the truck Mr. Freeman was driving.
