Get a damn good lawyer. My family member tried going after Chevy cuz airbags did not deploy (2011 Chevy 3/4ton) in 2011. They have good lawyers. Family member is now a double amputee paraplegic. Plenty of front end damage. Not their fault.
We thought we got a good lawyer that was highly recommended from a very established family but Chevy has good lawyers.
Personally, I don't feel like Chevy should be liable in any way whatsoever. The airbags are a safety feature to help you in an accident - there are no guarantees.
I can agree with you on that but a GM employee who we know got documents from internal gm that said their was a fault, and 2011 was part of the years. Documents showed airbags went into "limp" mode on impact.
Theirs more to it, but not gonna go into it here cuz I hate typing.
On the other hand, if no guarantees, why the big takotna airbag issue?
