But thatâs just what airbags produced by Japanese company Takata are accused of doing.</p> 501<p>Defective Takata airbags can explode violently in a crash, causing serious injuries in otherwise minor collisions. As of 2021, at least 19 people in the U.S. had died and more than 400 had been injured by faulty Takata airbags.</p> 502<p>And the dangers are far-reaching: defective Takata airbags may have been installed in as many as 100 million vehicles worldwide.</p> 503<p><strong>Takata Airbag Recall</strong></p> 504<p>As early as 2004, reports surfaced in the U.S. of Takata airbags exploding. The potentially fatal flaw is caused by the airbagâs propellant, which can degrade and cause the inflator to rupture explosively. As accounts of injuries and deaths came in over the next few years, automakers started recalling cars equipped with potentially faulty Takata airbags.</p> 505<p>By 2014, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) finally ordered Takata to institute a nationwide airbag recall. The recall eventually extended to over 67 million airbags involving 19 different car manufacturers. The NHTSA called these the âlargest and most complex vehicle recalls in U.S. history.â</p> 506<p>And the bad news didnât end there. Despite the massive recall, millions of cars with defective Takata airbags are still on the road today. A faulty Takata airbag was implicated in the death of a U.S. driver in 2021, many years after the recall.</p> 507<p><strong>Takata Airbag Lawsuits</strong></p> 508<p>Hundreds of people have filed lawsuits against Takata, claiming that they were injured by the defective airbags. The lawsuits allege that Takata airbags rupture dangerously when deployed, sometimes shooting metal shards into passengers, causing severe bodily harm.</p> 509<p>Takata airbag injuries may include the following:</p> 510<ul> 511<li>Brain damage or concussion</li> 512<li>Serious cuts on the face, neck, throat, torso, or arms</li> 513<li>Fractures to the head, neck, face, ribs, or chest</li> 514<li>Excessive black eyes or other bruising</li> 515<li>Severe burns</li> 516<li>Metal shrapnel injuries</li> 517<li>Permanent scarring or other disfigurement</li> 518<li>Hearing, vision, or vocal damage or loss</li> 519<li>Complications from blood loss</li> 520<li>Injury to the fetus in pregnant women</li> 521<li>Death</li> 522</ul> 523<p>With so many Takata airbag claims being filed around the country, many of these suits were consolidated into mass litigation. These lawsuits allege that the manufacturer knew about the potential dangers for over a decade before finally issuing the recall in the U.S.</p> 524<p>Several multi-million-dollar settlements involving Takata and auto manufacturers have been reached or proposed. In 2017, the manufacturer admitted misconduct and agreed to pay a $1 billion fine, in part to compensate victims. <

Is it too early for AVs to be on the roads? And what is causing all of these crashes? Although most accidents have been minor, there are exceptions, including the self-driving Uber that hit and killed a pedestrian in Tempe, Arizona.</p> 585<p>The less âsensationalâ crashes may not make national news, but reports showing <em>all </em>AV crashesâeven minor fender bendersâare particularly alarming. They are happening with relative frequencyâ¦and most involve rear-end collisions. Take the state of California, for example. In the month of September alone, three AVs were rear-ended and three were sideswiped. Most AV developers do their road testing in California, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Michigan, but California is the only state that requires AV companies to report detailed information about their testing. Since 2014, California has recorded at least 104 collisions involving AVs. Of those, a whopping 49 occurred in 2018.</p> 586<p>Critics warn that getting to a point where AVs can basically eliminate the countryâs annual 40,000 roadway fatalities may take decades, and current testing programs are akin to a public experiment in AI to which public participants havenât willingly signed on. Considering that possible outcomes include serious injury or death, concern is understandable. According to research into recent accident patterns, experts have concluded that AVs drive in ways that may be unexpected by the human drivers with whom they share the road. A <a href="https://www.altmanllp.com/contact-us.html">MA auto accident attorney</a> can help you determine how to proceed if youâve been injured due to anotherâs negligence.</p> 587<h2>Rear-End Collisions and AVsâWhoâs at Fault?</h2> 588<p>Analyzing the data found in nationwide reports, researchers have concluded that rear-end accidents account for approximately two-thirds of all AV accidents. Why all the rear-end collisions? And doesnât that mean theyâre the fault of the human driver who hits the AV from behind? Although most states hold that rear-end accidents are the fault of the driver who hits the other vehicle from behind (and there is no denying that todayâs human drivers are more distracted than ever), many experts believe that the AVs are at least partially to blame.</p> 589<p>Of the 28 rear-end accidents reported involving self-driving cars in California last year, 22 occurred when the vehicle was in full autonomous mode. Such statistics lead experts to believe that AVs simply <em>must</em> be doing something that increases the likelihood of being involved in a rear-end collision. Although autonomous vehicles may make take the âpath of least resistanceâ (i.e. make an illegal left-turn to avoid mowing down a pedestrian), they donât always drive in a way that human drivers expect. Which may be the biggest problem faced by AV developers, <em>and</em> the general public.</p> 590<h2>People Expect <em>People</em> to Break Rules</h2> 591<p>Kyle Vogt, cofounder and CEO at Cruise believes the reports coming out of California paint a very clear pictureâhumans expect other humans to break traffic rules when behind the wheel (i.e. speeding up at a yellow light or driving over the speed limit), but AVs donât bend the rules.</p> 592<p>âWeâre not going to make vehicles that break laws just to do things like a human would,â says Vogt. âIf drivers are aware of the fact that AVs are being lawful, and thatâs fundamentally a good thing because itâs going to lead to safer roads, then I think there may be a better interaction between humans and AVs.â A <a href="https://www.altmanllp.com/contact-us.html">Boston auto accident lawyer</a> can help you recover damages if youâve been injured due to anotherâs negligence.</p> 593<p>Itâs going to be a long time until AVs are universally safe on American roadways. In the meantime, awareness is key. The public would benefit immensely from knowing how self-driving technology works, howâand <em>where</em>âit is being tested, and how AVs behave. Labeling AVs in similar fashion to driverâs education vehicles could be one way to help human drivers adapt to their artificially-intelligent counterparts. <a href="https://www.bostoncaraccidentlawyerblog.com/whats-going-on-with-all-the-self-driving-car-crashes/#more-1185" class="more-link">Continue reading</a></p> 594 </div> 595 </div> 596 <footer> 597 <div class="author vcard">by <span itemprop="author" itemtype="http://schema.org/Organization" itemscope><a href="https://www.altmanllp.com/firm-overview.html" class="url fn author-altmanllp1 author-2073 post-author-link" rel="author" target="_self" itemprop="url"><span itemprop="name">Altman & Altman</span></a><meta itemprop="sameAs" content="https://twitter.com/AltmanandAltman" /><meta itemprop="sameAs" content="https://www.facebook.com/AltmanAltmanLLP" /><meta itemprop="sameAs" content="http://lawyers.justia.com/firm/altman-altman-llp-7003" /></span></div> <div itemprop="publisher" itemtype="http://schema.org/Organization" itemscope> 598 <meta itemprop="name" content="Altman & Altman LLP" /> 599 600<div itemprop="logo" itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" itemscope> 601 <link itemprop="url" href="https://www.bostoncaraccidentlawyerblog.com/files/2016/06/altman.png" /> 602 <meta itemprop="height" content="60" /> 603 <meta itemprop="width" content="225" /> 604 <meta itemprop="representativeOfPage" content="http://schema.org/True" /> 605</div> 606 </div> 607 608 <div class="category-list"><span class="category-list-label">Posted in:</span> <span class="category-list-items"><a href="https://www.bostoncaraccidentlawyerblog.com/category/driver-safety/" title="View all posts in Driver Safety" class="category-driver-safety term-9 post-category-link">Driver Safety</a>, <a href="https://www.bostoncaraccidentlawyerblog.com/category/personal-injury/" title="View all posts in Personal Injury" class="category-personal-injury term-16 post-category-link">Personal Injury</a> and <a href="https://www.bostoncaraccidentlawyerblog.com/category/uberlyft-accidents/" title="View all posts in Uber/Lyft Accidents" class="category-uberlyft-accidents term-36 post-category-link">Uber/Lyft Accidents</a></span></div> 609 <div class="published-date"><span class="published-date-label"></span> <time datetime="2018-10-24T14:42:31-04:00" class="post-date published" itemprop="datePublished" pubdate>October 24, 2018</time></div> <div class="visuallyhidden">Updated: 610 <time datetime="2018-10-24T14:42:31-04:00" class="updated" itemprop="dateModified">October 24, 2018 2:42 pm</time> 611 </div> 612 613 614 615 616 617 </footer> 618 619 </div> 620</article> 621 622 623<article id="post-1161" class="entry post-1161 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-auto-products-liability category-personal-injury" itemprop="blogPost" itemtype="http://schema.org/BlogPosting" itemscope> 624 <link itemprop="mainEntityOfPage" href="https://www.bostoncaraccidentlawyerblog.com/dozen-toyota-lexus-models-recalled/" /> 625 <div class="inner-wrapper"> 626 <header> 627 628 629 630 <div id="default-featured-image-1161-post-id-1161" itemprop="image" itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" itemscope> 631 <link itemprop="url" href="https://www.bostoncaraccidentlawyerblog.com/files/2019/03/social-image-logo-og.png" />

According to Toyota, a <a href="https://www.altmanllp.com/defective-products.html">defect</a> in an open electrical circuit could prevent the air bag from inflating during a crash. As air bags are intended to prevent serious injuries and death in a motor vehicle collision, a non-deploying airbag could be fatal.</p> 654<p>Toyota has announced that it will send recall letters to owners of affected models in March 2018. In the meantime, you may wish to contact Toyota if you own one of the defective models, which include:</p> 655<ul> 656<li>Alphard</li> 657<li>Corolla</li> 658<li>Esquire</li> 659<li>Highlander</li> 660<li>Hilux</li> 661<li>Levin</li> 662<li>Lexus RX</li> 663<li>Lexus NX SUVs</li> 664<li>Noah</li> 665<li>Prius</li> 666<li>Probox</li> 667<li>Sienta</li> 668<li>Succeed</li> 669<li>Vellfire</li> 670<li>Voxy</li> 671</ul> 672<p>As if the airbag issue wasnât enough, one of Toyotaâs most popular models, the 2018 Camry, is involved in a second recall. This time the defect involves an improper connection of fuel pipes and hoses, resulting in a potential fire hazard. Other vehicles involved in this recall are the Lexus TC-F, GS F and LC 500 vehicles manufactured in 2015 and after. A <a href="https://www.altmanllp.com/contact-us.html">Boston defective products attorney</a> can help you determine how to proceed if youâve been injured due to a dangerous or defective product.</p> 673<h2>Takata Airbags</h2> 674<p>The largest auto recall of 2017 involved vehicles equipped with Takata airbags. About 34 million vehicles have been affected by the recall, and more are expected. Takata airbags have exploded during deployment, causing serious injuries to vehicle occupants. According to the NHTSA, anyone with a vehicle model equipped with a Takata airbag should avoid driving the vehicle, <em>except</em> directly to the manufacturer to have the dangerous defect fixed. Several Honda and Acura models are involved, as are various Toyota, Lexus and BMW models. <a href="https://www.bostoncaraccidentlawyerblog.com/dozen-toyota-lexus-models-recalled/#more-1161" class="more-link">Continue reading</a></p> 675 </div> 676 </div> 677 <footer> 678 <div class="author vcard">by <span itemprop="author" itemtype="http://schema.org/Organization" itemscope><a href="https://www.altmanllp.com/firm-overview.html" class="url fn author-altmanllp1 author-2073 post-author-link" rel="author" target="_self" itemprop="url"><span itemprop="name">Altman & Altman</span></a><meta itemprop="sameAs" content="https://twitter.com/AltmanandAltman" /><meta itemprop="sameAs" content="https://www.facebook.com/AltmanAltmanLLP" /><meta itemprop="sameAs" content="http://lawyers.justia.com/firm/altman-altman-llp-7003" /></span></div> <div itemprop="publisher" itemtype="http://schema.org/Organization" itemscope> 679 <meta itemprop="name" content="Altman & Altman LLP" /> 680 681<div itemprop="logo" itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" itemscope> 682 <link itemprop="url" href="https://www.bostoncaraccidentlawyerblog.com/files/2016/06/altman.png" /> 683 <meta itemprop="height" content="60" /> 684 <meta itemprop="width" content="225" /> 685 <meta itemprop="representativeOfPage" content="http://schema.org/True" /> 686</div> 687 </div> 688 689 <div class="category-list"><span class="category-list-label">Posted in:</span> <span class="category-list-items"><a href="https://www.bostoncaraccidentlawyerblog.com/category/auto-products-liability/" title="View all posts in Auto Products Liability" class="category-auto-products-liability term-24 post-category-link">Auto Products Liability</a> and <a href="https://www.bostoncaraccidentlawyerblog.com/category/personal-injury/" title="View all posts in Personal Injury" class="category-personal-injury term-16 post-category-link">Personal Injury</a></span></div> 690 <div class="published-date"><span class="published-date-label"></span> <time datetime="2018-03-06T11:27:07-05:00" class="post-date published" itemprop="datePublished" pubdate>March 6, 2018</time></div> <div class="visuallyhidden">Updated: 691 <time datetime="2018-03-06T11:27:07-05:00" class="updated" itemprop="dateModified">March 6, 2018 11:27 am</time> 692 </div> 693 694 695 696 697 698 </footer> 699 700 </div> 701</article> 702 703 704<article id="post-1146" class="entry post-1146 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-car-accidents category-personal-injury" itemprop="blogPost" itemtype="http://schema.org/BlogPosting" itemscope> 705 <link itemprop="mainEntityOfPage" href="https://www.bostoncaraccidentlawyerblog.com/can-receive-compensation-whiplash-injury/" /> 706 <div class="inner-wrapper"> 707 <header> 708 709 710 711 <div id="default-featured-image-1146-post-id-1146" itemprop="image" itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" itemscope> 712 <link itemprop="url" href="https://www.bostoncaraccidentlawyerblog.com/files/2019/03/social-image-logo-og.png" />

This is because the damage caused to soft tissues, muscles and tendons in a whiplash injury is not as obvious as, say, a broken bone or wounds. In fact, whiplash injuries typically donât appear on X-rays or other diagnostic imaging unless tears are severe. Further, the full extent of a whiplash injury may take up to a week or more to become apparent. However, whiplash <em>is</em> a real injury, and it can be extremely painful and debilitating. A <a href="https://www.altmanllp.com/contact-us.html">Boston personal injury lawyer</a> can help you determine how to proceed if you are suffering from whiplash following any type of accident.</p> 736<p>In more serious cases of whiplash, the injury can have immediate and / or long-term consequences. The section of the spine around the neck is called the cervical region. This is the area most affected by whiplash injuries. As a healthy cervical spine is crucial for comfort and mobility, damage to this area of the body can result in lifelong complications and pain.</p> 737<h2>How Much Compensation Can I Receive?</h2> 738<p>As with most injuries, the amount of compensation will depend on multiple factors, including the severity of the injury. Minor c
738ases of whiplash, which usually dissipate within a week, are unlikely to result in compensation. However, if your whiplash injury caused debilitating pain that prevented you from working or engaging in basic tasks, you may be able to obtain compensation. A <a href="https://www.altmanllp.com/contact-us.html">MA personal injury attorney </a>can help you recover damages if youâve been injured due to anotherâs negligence.</p> 739<p>As stated above, whiplash settlements and awards vary widely based on multiple factors, but moderate cases of whiplash will generally be valued at between $2,500 and $10,000. If whiplash injuries are particularly serious, however, the injured party may receive up to $30,000 or more.</p> 740<h2>Whiplash Symptoms</h2> 741<p>Symptoms vary in severity based on the extent of the injury, but the most common whiplash symptoms include:</p> 742<ul> 743<li>Neck stiffness</li> 744<li>Pain in the cervical region</li> 745<li>Numbness or tingling in the cervical region</li> 746<li>Mobility problems</li> 747</ul> 748<p>In addition to whiplash, the symptoms above may indicate that you have injured your invertebrate joints or discs, cervical ligaments, or the nerve roots in that area. Seek immediate medical attention if you are experiencing any of these symptoms following a car accident or other trauma to the head or neck area. Beyond getting needed medical treatment, visiting your physician will also ensure that your injury is documented for insurance purposes, <em>and</em> if you decide to bring a personal injury lawsuit. <a href="https://www.bostoncaraccidentlawyerblog.com/can-receive-compensation-whiplash-injury/#more-1146" class="more-link">Continue reading</a></p> 749 </div> 750 </div> 751 <footer> 752 <div class="author vcard">by <span itemprop="author" itemtype="http://schema.org/Organization" itemscope><a href="https://www.altmanllp.com/firm-overview.html" class="url fn author-altmanllp1 author-2073 post-author-link" rel="author" target="_self" itemprop="url"><span itemprop="name">Altman & Altman</span></a><meta itemprop="sameAs" content="https://twitter.com/AltmanandAltman" /><meta itemprop="sameAs" content="https://www.facebook.com/AltmanAltmanLLP" /><meta itemprop="sameAs" content="http://lawyers.justia.com/firm/altman-altman-llp-7003" /></span></div> <div itemprop="publisher" itemtype="http://schema.org/Organization" itemscope> 753 <meta itemprop="name" content="Altman & Altman LLP" /> 754 755<div itemprop="logo" itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" itemscope> 756 <link itemprop="url" href="https://www.bostoncaraccidentlawyerblog.com/files/2016/06/altman.png" /> 757 <meta itemprop="height" content="60" /> 758 <meta itemprop="width" content="225" /> 759 <meta itemprop="representativeOfPage" content="http://schema.org/True" /> 760</div> 761 </div> 762 763 <div class="category-list"><span class="category-list-label">Posted in:</span> <span class="category-list-items"><a href="https://www.bostoncaraccidentlawyerblog.com/category/car-accidents/" title="View all posts in Car Accidents" class="category-car-accidents term-5 post-category-link">Car Accidents</a> and <a href="https://www.bostoncaraccidentlawyerblog.com/category/personal-injury/" title="View all posts in Personal Injury" class="category-personal-injury term-16 post-category-link">Personal Injury</a></span></div> 764 <div class="published-date"><span class="published-date-label"></span> <time datetime="2018-01-22T11:17:19-05:00" class="post-date published" itemprop="datePublished" pubdate>January 22, 2018</time></div> <div class="visuallyhidden">Updated: 765 <time datetime="2018-01-22T11:17:19-05:00" class="updated" itemprop="dateModified">January 22, 2018 11:17 am</time> 766 </div> 767 768 769 770 771 772 </footer> 773 774 </div> 775</article> 776 777 778<article id="post-1144" class="entry post-1144 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-car-accidents category-personal-injury" itemprop="blogPost" itemtype="http://schema.org/BlogPosting" itemscope> 779 <link itemprop="mainEntityOfPage" href="https://www.bostoncaraccidentlawyerblog.com/statute-limitations-car-accident-injury-lawsuits-ma/" /> 780 <div class="inner-wrapper"> 781 <header> 782 783 784 785 <div id="default-featured-image-1144-post-id-1144" itemprop="image" itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" itemscope> 786 <link itemprop="url" href="https://www.bostoncaraccidentlawyerblog.com/files/2019/03/social-image-logo-og.png" />

Both civil and criminal cases may be subject to a statute of limitations.</p> 809<p class="Body">Statutes of limitations in criminal cases are generally longer than those in civil cases. In some criminal cases, such as murder and rape of a child, there is no statute of limitations. This means that a 50-year-old woman can come forward about having been raped as a child, and her attacker can still be punished for the crime.</p> 810<p class="Body">When it comes to civil cases such as personal injury lawsuits, however, the statute of limitations is typically only a few years. In MA, if anyone suffers injuries or property damage in a <span class="Hyperlink0"><a href="https://www.altmanllp.com/car-accidents.html">motor vehicle accident</a></span>, their lawsuit <i>must</i> be filed within three years of the crash. A <span class="Hyperlink0"><a href="https://www.altmanllp.com/contact-us.html">MA personal injury attorney</a></span> can help you determine how to proceed if youâve been injured due to anotherâs negligence.</p> 811<h2>What About Wrongful Death Claims?</h2> 812<p class="Body">Things get a bit trickier if someone is killed in an auto accident. Although the statute of limitations for wrongful death lawsuits is still three years in MA, the clock on these cases doesnât start running until the victim dies. If the death occurred on the day of the accident, the three-year clock would begin on that day. If, however, the victim dies from related injuries weeks or months after the accident, the three-year countdown would begin on a different date than that of the accident.</p> 813<h2>Discovery Rule</h2> 814<p class="Body">In MA, there is one main exception to the three-year statute of limitations on car accidents. Itâs called the âdiscovery rule.â In rare instances, the injured party in an auto accident may be temporarily unaware that he has been injured, or that the accident caused his injuries. Take Bob, for example. Bob is involved in a crash caused by a teen who was texting while driving. Although the accident was serious, Bob insists that he wasnât injured, and the teenâs insurance covers the damage to the vehicle. About three weeks later, Bob goes to the hospital complaining of serious pain in his side. During a medical examination, doctors discover that one of Bobâs ribs is broken. Under the discovery rule, the date that the broken rib was <i>discovered</i> is the date that the three-year clock starts ticking.</p> 815<h2>Donât Miss the Deadline</h2> 816<p class="Body">If you wait too long and miss the three-year deadline, the court will likely refuse your case.
