Defective GMAX Helmet Lawsuits

GMAX Helmets, LLC. is a producer of helmets for riders of off-road and street vehicles, including motorcycles, ATVs and snowmobiles. Like any developer, designer and manufacturer of safety gear, GMAX has a responsibility to create products that offer the protection advertised and meet the safety standards for the industry. There have been defective GMAX helmets recalled due to safety concerns that could cause serious injury to riders using these products.

A helmet is the only significant protection for the head of riders if they are in an accident. The design should minimize impact to reduce the chance of injury. If any aspect of the helmet does not function as promised, the rider could face a variety of head injuries. Skull fractures, eye trauma, eye/nose fractures, brain injury and death can occur when a helmet fails to provide the protection expected. If there is evidence that the helmet has a design or manufacturer defect, the developer or manufacturer may be liable for injuries caused by the defective helmet if an accident occurs.

Safety Concerns for GMAX Helmets

One of the GMAX helmets with safety concerns has been recalled. The GMAX GM-78 was recalled in 2016 for not meeting Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 218, “Motorcycle Helmets.” There were 2,915 of these helmets recalled for not adequately protecting the rider from injury in the event of a crash.

Unfortunately, not all helmets are recalled before they cause a serious injury. It is likely that injuries occur and are reported, which is the reason for the helmet recall. There may be other GMAX helmets that are defective beyond the GMAX GM-78.

If you or a close family member has sustained a head injury while wearing a GMAX helmet, check to see if the helmet is under a recall. Even if it is not, it is possible the helmet is defective. Contact our team at Conley Griggs Partin LLP to discuss your claim. If a defective GMAX helmet caused you or a family member to be seriously injured, you may be eligible to pursue a product liability lawsuit.

Bruce Millar The Millar Law Firm Atlanta, GA

As an Atlanta Attorney I have known Cale Conley personally for nearly 20 years. I first heard about Cale through other lawyers, who talked about his remarkable skill and great results as a trial attorney. When I finally had the chance to refer a case to Cale and work with him as a colleague, I was blown away by the level of his professionalism, knowledge and skill. Over the past few years I have referred several clients with large and complex cases to Cale and his firm and have been extremely impressed with the results he has obtained! In my opinion, Cale is one of the best Attorneys in the United States. Not just in Atlanta or Georgia, but anywhere. I am totally confident in referring any case or client to him. Not only is he a great attorney, he and his firm and partners take good care of clients and care deeply about them. If I could give Cale and his firm more than 5-Stars I would.

I had the pleasure of trying a very complicated products liability case with Cale Conley and Davis Popper. They and their entire office are fantastic, and I could not recommend them more highly. The entire process, from the time that we brought them in to work with us, through the course of the case and trial, was seamless. Cale, Richard, Rance, and Davis are some of the finest trial lawyers in the Country, and I look forward to working with them on future cases.
