Lawsuit Against Nissan Claims Defective Seatbelts Resulted In Injuries
Back in in 1997, Michael Guillory was hit by another driver causing a car accident when, Jeffrey Moon, while going through a stop sign in rural Texas, failed to stop and struck his Nissan Pathfinder. The rub is that while Guillory was wearing his seatbelt as required by law, he claims that he was unnecessarily injured when his seatbelt, which he maintains was defective, came unlatched and failed to restrain him. Eleven years later, on March 10, 2008, Guillory filed a product liability lawsuit against car maker giant, Nissan in Federal Court in Eastern Texas.
In the lawsuit, Guillory is pushing for all damages available under the law in this product liability lawsuit, including for pain and suffering, loss of consortium, physical impairment, disfigurement, extreme emotional distress, mental anguish, medical expenses, lost wages, pre and post-judgment interest, and court costs. Guillory is also strongly contending in the product liability lawsuit that the Nissan Pathfinder was not "reasonably crashworthy" and not reasonably fit for unintended, but clearly foreseeable, accidents." The suit also states that the Pathfinder's seatbelt was defective due to the buckle releasing during the accident, the restraint system not being crashworthy, and the buckle not providing adequate restraint.
