Defective Helmets
Whether for fun or serious competition, millions of Americans participate in sports or recreational activities every day. Unfortunately, some of these activities can be potentially dangerous and require the participant to wear a helmet to prevent a traumatic brain injury that could dramatically alter one’s life. Roughly 1.7 million Americans suffer a traumatic brain injury every year and a large portion of them occur because of a sport or recreational activity like cycling or football.
Traumatic brain injuries can have widespread adverse effects on a victim’s life. If you or someone you love has been injured because of a defective helmet, you need to pursue legal action. You may be eligible for financial compensation and we are here to help you fight for it.

Common Helmet Malfunctions
Helmets are designed to protect your head and brain in case of an accident or blunt force during the activity. If they aren’t properly designed or tested before production, they could cause life-altering injuries. Some common helmet defects include:
- Loose facemasks in football helmets
- Thin outer shells that crack easily
- Failure to fully cover the head
- Securing straps and locking mechanisms that malfunction
