Stephanie Erdman, an officer in the Air Force who was seriously injured by an exploding airbag is helping Honda’s effort to persuade car owners to get the dangerous part replaced. After nearly losing the sight in her right eye when the inflator in her 2002 Honda Civic exploded into pieces, Officer Erdman took action and started appearing in videos on Facebook targeting Honda owners.  To their credit Honda has started to rebrand some of their delivery trailers to urge change as well.

These videos came out just after a report found that the 19 automakers involved in the recall have replaced only 43% of the recalled Takata airbags despite the threat they can break apart and hurl shrapnel into both drivers and passengers. As many as nineteen people worldwide, including 13 in the U.S. have been killed by the faulty inflators and over 180 injured as Officer Erdman will attest. She was quoted saying “I feel like there needs to be a real sense of urgency on the part of anyone driving these cars. I don’t want them to have to go through what I went through.”  Officer Erdman is doing the videos for free and settled a lawsuit with Honda for an undisclosed sum.

Never in my life did I think I would recommend an attorney. Somehow God sent this angel of an attorney to assist me in my personal injury lawsuit. I was told by lawyers in Bakersfield that my lawsuit was frivolous because there was money in it.

I live in Elk Grove where we don’t always have a lot of choices. Lawyers are one area where we have few good choices. I wanted to work with a local law firm after my motorcycle accident, and I chose Glenn Guenard and Ross Bozarth.

My daughter was involved in an automobile accident in an intersection on her 17th birthday. The other person said it was her fault and my daughter said her light was green. I am not the sort of person who sues but my insurance
