Exploding seat belt injury lawsuits

According to a report posted on jalopnik.com, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) revealed a Recall Query concerning exploding seat belt parts in Kia and Hyundai motor vehicles. Last May, approximately 230,000 Hyundai Elantra sedans were recalled by the automaker due to exploding seat belt pretensioners causing injuries. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recently provided an update stating that around 275,000 automobiles are affected.

The recalled vehicles include:

• 2021-2022 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid and Elantra vehicles
• 2021 Hyundai Venue SUVs,
• 2021 Genesis GV80 vehicles,
• 2022 Genesis GV70 automobile,
• 2020-2021 Hyundai Accent sedans, and
• 2022 Kia Sorento Hybrid Plug-ins and Hybrids.

NHTSA issued a media statement saying that the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has opened this Recall Query (RQ) due to allegations that the vehicles’ seatbelt pretensioners can explode causing injuries. The Office of Defects Investigation discovered that Samsong is the distributor of the defective pretensioners, and when a pretensioner defectively ruptures, shrapnel can be thrown at passengers causing cuts, abrasions, and other injuries.

If you or a loved one have been harmed by a defective automobile, you could recover substantial monetary compensation. Speak with one of our experienced products liability attorneys at no charge today.

I want to give a heartfelt thank you to Ms. Benita Rollis for the exemplary manner in which my case was handled from the inception to the end. Ms. Rollis was compassionate, friendly, understanding, professional, accurate, informative and patient. She took the time and effort to explain the process, timeline, the various documents involved and how to go about obtaining certain forms. She was definitely on point. If I had to go this route again, I would hands down, choose and highly recommend Ms. Rollis because she is highly competent in getting the job done. She is a definite asset to Parker Waichman LLP.

I am glad I chose Parker and Waichman to represent me and couldn't be happier to work with Julie and Maryann. They have been extremely helpful in assisting me and helping me throughout the whole process. They have made this uncomfortable situation feel very comfortable from day one and have been calling me with updates and checking up on me to see how I have been doing. Great Job and THANK YOU to them both.
