Sueing nissan

[tony243win]

im sure some of you read about the crash i was in a couple weeks ago.. well i got in a front end collision and my air bag did not deploy so i am gonna sue nissan. I love nissan but i also love money. Money which i will use to buy a nissan. now i want your help on what i should do with the money. What would you do with a 100,000 dollar settlement

[KiDyNomiTe]

Nissan is already bieng sued for stealing someone's name, stupid bullshit. Saw it in Campaign's (sp?) sig. I say lay off Nissan, I hate all these stupid lawsuits that happen. The only person that deserves a lawsuit was that guy who was stuck in that stupid raid and was discriminated against.

[toddnappi]

dude no offense but its mentalities like yours that rise the costs material goods such as cars, electronics etc. faster than the average salary rises, making it so that I can afford more now as a 17 year old then I will when I am 25. I don't know anything about your crash. BUT You should be thankful you are alive and that the car technically saved your life. WOULD you specifically pick a car because it had airbags? NO. If anything your settlement should pick up the medical bills that your insurance did not cover.

PS I also hate people who brag about their settlements like "I got a million dollars for free, im better than u". If u even get anything u should be smart and put it in your retirement fund. but like most people who win the lottery and lawsuits u will probly blow it on somethin stupid like a skyline u can only drive at the track and 10 yrs from now u  will have nothing to show for it. sorry if i offended u but thats how i feel.

[240meowth]

end the madness!  i think you have all the rights in the world to sue nissan due to their defective parts.  and the law will serve it's purpose.

also, i think nissan is not being sued by nissan computer but the other way around.  nissan motors is sueing nisan computer.  but the biggest issue was that nissan computer started back in the 80's when nissan was named datsun.  go to www.nissan.com and click on the link, the link "www.nissan.com" is of nissan computers.

[Mtt22]

yes, nissan mortorcorp is sueing nissan computers.

[95exlude]

meowth is right about the lawsuit.  nissan motors is suing nissan computers or whatever for sitting on their web domain.

just a tip, if you have a modified car, getting in this lawsuit could be trouble as they would definitely play ur modifications as messing with your car.

thats kinda tacky guessing ur going to get a 100k settlement, all the same, dont get ur hopes up...

[SilviaDriver]

becuz ur airbag didnt deploy isnt really Nissans, mayb the airbags was something u should of checked if it worked or not...shit happens..if ur car was Brand new a 350Z and u crashed and it didnt deploy..then sue or watever complain. but ur car aint that brand new something could of been wrong from previous owners

[DrDubbleB]

Ahhh yes, the American way of solving everything...sue.

[xLSTONEx]

YOU NEED SOME BALLS, I hate people that think they can cry and get anything they want, even when you weren't badly hurt. You people think you shouldn't even have to work for your money, just sue and everything will be ok and i'll be rich. Well maybe if you would have been working hard your whole life you probably wouldn't need to sue, you would already have enough money. Fucking liberals.

[NervGS]

This is some funny shit.

You saying you are suing Nissan in a Nissan forum is like saying you are going to sue Britney Spears for stepping on your toe in a Britney Spears fan club forum.

Don't count your money before you earn it, there could be a chance that you'll be counting negatives trying to sue a GIANT corporation...

What exactly are the details of your accident?  Have you been in one before with same car?

Hey lets keep the f*ckin political crap out of this...just because some one has liberal ideas doesn't make them stupid. &nbsp;I bet you some liberal "f*ck" came up with a great concept for a car....maybe even the 240SX!! What do you think of that?? &nbsp;

Think before you speak. &nbsp;

Now, I wouldn't go sueing Nissan at all. &nbsp;1) you probably won't get shit and 2) what purpose would it serve if you only have a bruise?
I would like to make some money in this world, and if I'm paying $1200 a year for insurance, so someone else can take my money, I'll be damned if i wanna hear about it!! &nbsp;Seriously, I think everyone knows that their insurance rates will go up if some bigshot goes after the insurance co. &nbsp;Its the nature of the beast.

[sxtasy]

Nissan offers a standard 3/36 warranty. After that they are not liable for any malfunctions of the car (IMO). That's like those boneheads trying to sue Ford for the 65 Mustang for having the floor of the trunk, the top of the gas tank. That car was made 37 fricken years ago! How long is an auto maker supose to be liable for thier cars? And your lawers are going tp play hell trying to prove Nissan's negligence! Give it up dude, they will bury you in court! Then you'll be -thousands of dollars in lawers fees.

How old is your car? IIRC airbags are only supposed to stay in the car 8-10 years before needing replacement. Also, a lawsuit against a major corporation will cost YOU a minimum of $100,000. Unless you died, which you obviously did not, you will most likely not come out on top.

A guy I work with was about to sue Subaru because of a seat failure. Brand new wrx, on test drive. dealer was driving, they were rear ended and the seats (both passenger and driver) collapsed flat down onto the back seats...the recline gears or whatever they are failed. Obviously a defect on a car with like 20mi...lawyer said "min of $100,000 to start this suit...+ months of boring court sessions" My coworker bought a wrx anyway LOL (dumbass) and drives it to his chiropractor twice a week because of the accident.

Curious, how bad did you get hurt?

[xLSTONEx]

Believe me I thought before what I said, but I am sorry for that statement. I did get a little carried away, that was just my .02 cents.

[whateverjames]

if anybody, you need to be suing the other person's insurance company. you'll get money from them before you get money from nissan. but trying to sue nissan because the air bag didn't deploy...good luck &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

[xLSTONEx]

Another point is Nissan can afford a whole lot better lawyors than you can, and if you want to win your gonna need a really good lawyor to get any money at all. If you do that your gonna end up in negative numbers like nervGS said. It's a stupid idea anyway, my .02 cents.

[SimpleS14]

Don't sued them....you won't win. &nbsp;First your car was modded in some way and they will use that. &nbsp;The age of your car plays a role, also......after 8 yrs your suppose to replace the sensor or something. &nbsp;Your actually losing money rather then gaining any. Lawyers are expensive in this case he or she will rape you dry. &nbsp;How old are you? &nbsp;Trust me your age can make a big difference.

Basically don't do it.....

[shady]

put the stock parts back on if it is possible if they havnt looked at the car already and look into it to see if they are liable for a defective air bag at this date no matter how many lawyers they get they cannot prove it wasnt defective as long as it was not modified &nbsp;it is a pretty simple case it may take awhile but it will be worth it. they charge you extra for a device that is supose to help save your life in an accident and it did not work you could of been seriously hurt sue them and dont listen to these pussys there like a bunch of girls with pms sitting at there comp all day waiting for a post to bitch about
laaaattteeeeee

[chickenmanq]

I really hope this is a conclusion you came to after 2 seconds of intense thought. &nbsp;You don't sound like you're hurt. &nbsp;Hmm, let's see. &nbsp;So the airbag didn't go off? &nbsp;BIG FUCKING DEAL! &nbsp;Shit happens, your car's wrecked. &nbsp;Why is it every asshole is so goddamn sue-happy in the U.S.?

When I got run over, I had the guy's insurance reimburse me for the cost of damage to my mountain bike. &nbsp;650 bucks. &nbsp;It's a rather expensive version. &nbsp;I didn't sue his ass. &nbsp;Unintelligent people sue for stupid reasons. &nbsp;I took two weeks of growing new skin from the road rash and chalked it up to experience. &nbsp;And I took a few liberties in getting the best shit I could in repairing the bike.

If you caused the wreck, you're shit out of luck and can only blame yourself.

If you had someone run into you, then tell the other guy's insurance you want full value for the car, enough so you can replace it with another one of your choice. &nbsp;Don't be an asshole and fall victim to the ever-increasing "It wasn't my fault, really." attitude. &nbsp;It's what's wrong with America.

...actually, there's a LOOOOTTTTT more that's "wrong with America", but we won't get into that here. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sly.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':sly:'>
It's ridiculous to see people suing left and right... probably quite entertaining until one day YOU get sued...

[flipboi13]

Your airbag didn't deploy, big whoop, i'd get out of my car, wipe the blood and from my mutilated face and scream at the sight of my beautiful wrecked car....

And that Nissan USA vs. Nissan Comp. think makes me laugh... its so rediculous

[matic 240sx]

your lawyer Bob Smoe vs Nissans law team?


BAHAHAHAHAHAHA YOU WISH!

do you have anything aftermarket on your car? new cd player? anything.. electrical tampering right there.. your gonna lose money paying for your lawyer.. the only thing u might get is some of the medical bills.. thats about it..

[95exlude]

even if you had a more viable case nissan would screw you over. &nbsp;they would only bargain with you if it were something major that would really hurt their public image. &nbsp;what they are going to do in this case is go ahead and meet you in court, no settlements. &nbsp;they will then dance around, take a long time, delay and delay and delay until ur pocket runs thin. &nbsp;they will then win the lawsuit cuz you cant afford ur lawyer any more...meanwhile you have lost up around 10-20k cuz you thought it would pay off in the long run

[DuffMan]

Actually airbags failing is a common occurance. I don't think you'll have much with a lawsuit. The best you could hope for is that they will pay to total your car if it is not already totaled because the car may not be safe.

Shady, you obviously know nothing at all about the law/lawyers <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sigh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':rolleyes:'> not that I'm an expert, but atleast I know something...which you obviously do not. &nbsp;And what if the car is 8+ years old...no longer a defect because they aren't made to work longer than that anyway so your case is completely gone and you've just wasted hundreds just talking to your laywer about even starting the law suit.

It's not rediculous. &nbsp;Their reasoning with that is the fact that people can easily mistake the two names and buy the wrong stock. &nbsp;That's money taken away from the company...you'd be complaining too.

[chickenmanq]

It's "ridiculous". &nbsp;And I wrote a couple of long letters to Nissan USA about the very subject. &nbsp;I told them to pull their collective heads out of their collective asses, drop the lawsuit and start making more vehicles like the 510 and 280Z. &nbsp;I suppose I should be happy the brought out the 350Z. &nbsp;Maybe some higher up read my diatribes. &nbsp;I got a response from the head PR guy, and he mentioned something about Nissan was legit in sueing. &nbsp;I wrote back and said who cares, you're losing money fighting that could be spent on cars.

I dunno...to make a mistake like that, you really have no idea what your doing or never done any research before buying stock. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

[DrDubbleB]

Yeah but the fact remains that there are a lot of stupid rich people that don't know what to do with their money, and just go by company names. &nbsp;I just did a quick search though, and could not find Nissan Computer's stock, so maybe it doesn't exist. &nbsp;I was just guessing that's what their reasoning is. &nbsp;I know that someone was going to sue a major corp. because he claimed that they stole his actual NAME. &nbsp;So it's possible that it's just a dispute over the name. &nbsp;It is a trademark...so it's still a legit claim (stupid as it may be).

Just becuase you got in a front end collision doesnt mean they should deploy anyways. I was in a front end collision that totralled my s14 and they didnt go off. Assuming they were working right, it all depends on the angle at which you were hit. Well, actually it depends on the acceleration of the sensor along the cars lenght, but thats based on that.
My front end was shearded off from the side and they didnt go off, and if they had, it wouldve only hurt me... And not let me sell em off <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>.
I'd just be happy your OK if you were in a hard front end collision.

actually i got 98% in advanced law... and i said put all the stock parts back on and look into it to see if there still liable for a defective air bag at this date before sueing ... can you read ? there is another problem with america most of them cannot read

[Silviaholic]

Thats it... Im fucking tired of this shit. &nbsp;Whats wrong with America? &nbsp;Fuck that... Im tired of hearing this shit. &nbsp;People tired of my fucking country. &nbsp;WTF is with that? &nbsp;Tell me my friends, where the fuck else would you rather live? &nbsp;This is all I hear anymore. "...that is whats wrong with America.." &nbsp;your just like my fucking father. &nbsp;Tell me why I'm such a horrible person but never give praise to a son who has no criminal record nor is involved with any illegal activity WHAT-SO-EVER! &nbsp;Im sorry I am OT on this subject, but I have to say this. &nbsp;I am going to be VERY redneck and very blunt about this. &nbsp;If you dont like it, get the FUCK out. &nbsp;If you dont like it and dont live here, blow me. &nbsp;I am a very patriotic person. &nbsp;With a brother in the Army National Guard and Coast Guard bitching like that tends to remind you what he is protecting and why he is out there. &nbsp;Why on 911 he drove his ass up there before call (three hour drive) to help out in anyway he could. &nbsp;What the fuck is wrong with America? &nbsp;I ask you this; &nbsp;What the fuck is wrong with you.


Lawsuits: &nbsp;Blow me..... do shit the American way, the REAL American way: Earn it! &nbsp;I kill myself at school to get the fuck out and become a real fucking mech. then I bust my ass to start off Project USDM180SX every god damn day at work. &nbsp;That is the American way, and that is whats RIGHT with
A-fucking-MERICA.

I seriously apologize for this childish and immature outburst of anger, but this is a VERY tough subject for me. &nbsp;I sincerly apologize for wasting your time.

[KiDyNomiTe]

this one's gone off-topic, its time for someone to go into mod mode.


Anyway, It's funny that in my English class we are doing debates and such, and one of em is about some fat guy sueing the Fast food industry for making him fat. The sad thing is he will probably to get money out of this. Which is bullshit, nowadays you complaing about one freakin thing and you have 10 thousand lawyers bent over backwards trying to get you to use them to sue someone else. We have way too many lawyers. People need to stop relying on someone else and blaming everyone else, and start owning up to thier responsibilities. I mean I could blame Zilvia for making me cry every night <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/blush.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':blush:'> &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>: , but you don't see me calling up Johnny Cockraine (sp?) and suing those who flamed me in the past, especially in my first weeks here. You just stick it out and learn from YOUR mistakes. I mean if you were hurt or traumatized then you should start finding the real blame, which still could of been yourself if you were not using all of the proper saftey mechanisms provided in the car.
