Airbag Injuries

Despite the fact that airbags are designed help prevent car accident injuries, they often cause injury themselves. The manufacturer’s line of reasoning is that you would sustain worse injury from going through a windshield than from the impact of an airbag.

Sadly, this is not always the case. People sometimes suffer worse injury from an airbag than they would have without one, indicating poor design or implementation on the part of the manufacturer, or else insufficient testing. Additionally, airbags will sometimes deploy when an accident has not occurred. If either of these situations apply to you, you may be entitled to compensation.

Liability in airbag injury cases is often tricky to determine. Several different parties may be named as defendants, including:

• The person who caused the accident
• The manufacturer of the airbag
• The manufacturer of the vehicle and/or parts
