What are my legal options if I was in a car accident where the airbags didn't deploy and the seat-belt did not lock?

Answered by attorney Gregory M Janks (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Gregory M. Janks, P.C.
If you can prove, usually through expert testimony, that your vehicle did not perform as designed/intended, due to a design and/or manufacturing defect, then you would have a case. You need to save your crashed vehicle and have it examined by an expert who can determine why the airbags and seat belts did not perform as intended, if they did not so perform. You may also have a breach of warranty claim, depending on the facts/evidence. The next element of your case is what injuries/damages were proximately caused by any defects in the design/manufacture. Typically attorneys can not economically handle an expensive product liability case unless the actual damages are significant. In Michigan you may not collect for "what if" or "what could have happened" damages, only those that actually occurred and can be proven with competent testimony/facts.

Can I sue a restaurant if I found a dead roach in my food?

You have a case of breach of contract perhaps, breach of warranty of fitness perhaps. Problem is your damages are very very small. What is a siege of vomiting worth? $100, $500, some small sum of money? You wont be able to afford the court costs and atty fees for such a thing.
