Takata recall. I have been retained to represent the family of a gentleman who died on December 22, 2015 due to a defective driver side takata airbag in a 2006 Ford Ranger. The accident occurred in lancaster county, SC. Metal from the inflator canister exploded penetrating my clients neck resulting in death. Decedent hit a cow in the middle of the road causing him to run off the road into a field -resulting in airbag deployment. Accident occurred at 3527 rocky river rd. In lancaster county, SC. Client was not ejected from vehicle but remained stationary in driver seat. There is no doubt airbag shrapnel metal killed my client, as this has been confirmed by death certificate and autopsy report.

Ranger

  • 44,000 miles
The contact owns a 2006 Ford Ranger XLT. While driving between 35-40 mph down a two-lane, dry mountain road, the vehicle began to sway uncontrollably across the road when the brake pedal was depressed. The vehicle failed to slow down and the vehicle veered off the road and traveled 60 feet down the snow covered mountain. The vehicle then rolled over four times. The failure occurred without warning. The air bags failed to deploy. The police and ambulance were called to the scene and a police report was filed. The driver was transported to the hospital and sustained moderate injuries. The vehicle was towed to a collision center. The insurance company has not determined the damages that the vehicle sustained. The failure and current mileages were 44,000.
