Editor’s note: This article is the first in a two-part series.
For more than 35 years, I have represented individuals catastrophically injured or killed — locally and nationwide — as a result of motor vehicle accidents, defectively designed motor vehicles and helmets. With respect to motor vehicle design, the defects have remained largely the same — seat belt failures, seat back failures, and failure to afford proper occupant protection (e.g., crashworthiness, failure of air bags to deploy, sudden acceleration). In helmet cases, I’ve seen, time and again, a failure to design the helmet to adequately protect the user. Tragically, high school football players, bicyclists and motorcyclists are often, in my view, the victims of horribly designed helmets that cause countless injuries and deaths.
