General Motors cars, trucks and SUVs manufactured from 2000 until 2012 have a dangerous and deadly defect in their airbag system that can prevent the front airbags from deploying in certain frontal impacts. During this timeframe, General Motors installed a time limit calibration in the airbag system that depowers the frontal airbags after 45 milliseconds into a collision.
Frontal airbags are needed in collisions between 18 to 24 miles an hour. Despite knowing about the defect GM did nothing to fix the fatal flaw that has caused thousands of crashes and killed at least 125 people.
On February 6, 2014, GM recalled about 800,000 of its small cars with faulty ignition switches. The company continued to recall more of its cars over the next several months, resulting in nearly 30 million cars recalled worldwide.
In April 2016, GM reached a confidential settlement with a Pittsburgh-based law firm in a wrongful death lawsuit filed on behalf of James E. Yingling, III. He was killed in a one car crash and days before his widow, Nadia Yingling was to go to trial on behalf of her deceased husband, GM offered a closed-door settlement to her which her attorney, Victor Pribanic found acceptable.

Is the shingles vaccine safe?
Shingles are most common in adults over 50 years of age. You must have previously had the chickenpox to contract shingles.
The Zostavax lawsuits allege that Merck & Co. became aware that the vaccine could cause patients to contract the shingles during its premarket approval trials and did not list the possible side effect until December of 2014, seven years after the FDA approved it.
The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program allows patients to recover millions for the harm they suffered. There are no specific types of injuries that must be sustained in order to entitle a petitioner to compensation, however, the person bust have had side effects from the vaccine that lasted 6 months or more, resulted in a hospital stay or, resulted in death.
Currently, there more than 50 lawsuits in the United States against Merck & Co. for the Zostavax shingles vaccine. We believe there are many more potential patients that have been affected by the vaccine.
If you or a loved one suffered from side effects from Merck & Co.’s Zostavax shingles vaccine, please call the experts at Inserra Kelley Sewell to see whether you might be entitled to compensation.

3T Heater-Cooler Infection Operating Room Machine Infection Lawsuits
In recent years, the 3T Heater-Cooler Unit (“3T HCU”) is an operating room machine used in open-heart, lung and liver transplant surgeries to heat and cool blood during surgery. On October 13, 2016, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released a safety communication warning that open-heart and lung surgeries where a 3T HCU was used had been linked to Nontuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM), infections, including Mycobacterium Chimaera (M. Chimaera) and Mycobacterium Abcessus (M. Abcessus) infections. These dangerous infections can take years to manifest and are resistant to antibiotics and can causes serious illness and death. There are documented cases of NTM Lawsuits, one in Iowa that a widow sued for damages claiming that a Sorin heater-cooler manufactured prior to 2014 was used on her husband in open heart surgery. Her husband was not diagnosed with NTM until two years after his surgery. There have been at least 21 reported cases in the United States, resulting in six deaths.

There is a case in Nebraska where a child was in the front seat of a van one time at age 6 and an adverse driver hit the van. The airbag deployed and paralyzed the child.

The child lived through his teen age years and made it through high school. He passed away shortly after high school from his injuries from the accident.
If you need to check on the car seat laws of Nebraska please go to the Nebraska Department of Transportation’s Highway Safety Office. There have been hundreds of crashes a year with improperly restrained children. The fine for having your child in an improper car seat is $25.00 plus court costs.
