Recently, Stephen Eimers has been on a mission to get defective guardrails off the roads after his daughter died in a car accident involving an X-Lite guardrail end terminal made by Lindsay Transportation Solutions. Eimers claims the guardrail malfunctioned by piercing his daughter's vehicle instead of folding under pressure like an accordion, as designed. Since then, Eimers has been advocating for victims who were hurt or killed in similar accidents. According to Eimers, at least six victims were involved in crashes like his daughter's, but he believes there may be many more whose stories have not been told. The X-Lite guardrail end terminal can be found in 20 states, but Eimers wants to see them phased out and replaced by safer alternatives.

Although the X-Lite guardrails are crash-tested, they are done so in labs owned by the manufacturers of the device. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration doesn't oversee or pay for the tests. The Government Accountability Office highlighted the potential for bias in a recent report. Eimers said he won't stop his mission until all Lindsay guardrails are off the roads.

If a person has been injured by a collision with a highway guardrail, they may be eligible for considerable compensation for their injuries. It is important to contact Guardrail Injury Lawyers to get help on these matters. Guardrail Injury Lawyers provide free consultations for anyone seeking injury compensation.
