There is nothing like taking your bike out for a ride on the open road. The lovely beaches, delightful scenery, and immaculate weather make for ideal conditions to ride in. Rallies and clubs are prominent in the area, so it is of the utmost importance for riders that wear a helmet to pay close attention to this information. A recently issued recall can increase your risks of sustaining a personal injury, but by remaining informed and knowledgeable of the situation, you can avoid these increased risks.
2,454 Potentially Affected Units
Daytona Helmets International is expected to issue a recall, starting in June, on approximately 2,454 units. That is a lot of heads being protected by faulty equipment. These helmets fail to meet the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard, number 218. In the event of a crash, rollover, or fall, the helmet may not adequately protect the rider’s head. This increases your risk of injury. You should avoid wearing these helmets for protection, and seek alternative equipment to help keep you safe. Certain affected models include…
- Skull Cap D1, D3, and D6 Helmets
The helmets in question come in a variety of sizes, from 3XS through 4XL. Daytona is expected to contact owners directly, but owners may also contact the company’s customer service department at 1-800-452-5745 for further information. The helmets will be replaced by dealers at no cost to you, which is greatly appreciated since you paid for a protective accessory that is inadequate at doing the job that it is intended to do.
You Could Be Entitled To Compensation If You Are Injured Due To Recalled Equipment
If you, a loved one, or somebody else that you know has been injured due to a faulty or defective piece of equipment, you may be entitled to compensation. Negligent acts by a manufacturer may also be to blame.
A motorcycle accident can have a devastating and lasting impact on your life, but when a helmet fails to protect your head in a crash, it can be catastrophic. A traumatic brain injury or even death can occur.
Ambulance rides, doctor fees, and time off work can leave you wondering how you are going to pay for any of them, as well as everyday necessities. Manufacturers and other types of organizations have legal teams, and the monetary means, to make obtaining rightful compensation a long and drawn out process. They will make every effort to disprove your claim or attempt to get you to settle for a small amount.
