Defective Airbags
Personal Injury Overview ♦ Process of a Law Suit
Brain Injury ♦ Cerebral Palsy ♦ Burn Injury ♦ Spinal Cord Injury ♦ Birth Injury ♦ Slip and Fall ♦ Defective Product ♦ Defective Airbag ♦ Premises Liability ♦ Nursing Home Negligence ♦ Drug Safety ♦ Defective Tires ♦ Dog Bites ♦ Child Injuries ♦ Negligent Security
Airbags are meant to keep people safe in the event of a car accident. If you have experienced car accident injuries due to a defective airbag, contact the person injury attorney team at the Coye Law Firm.
Injuries
Airbags, however, can cause serious injury if they are defective. Airbag injuries generally occur when the airbag:
- Fails to deploy
- Deploys too late
- Deploys too soon
- Deploys when it is not needed
- Deploys at an improper angle
Injuries caused by airbags vary depending on the situation. Some possible personal injuries caused by defective airbags include:
- Spinal cord injuries
- Paralysis
- Neck injuries
- Lacerations and bruises
- Heart injuries
- Internal injuries
- Traumatic head injuries
- Broken bones
- Chest injuries
- Eye injuries (including blindness)
- Burns
Defective Airbag Claims
Cases involving defective airbags can become very complicated. Generally, the parties liable for a defective airbag injury include the airbag manufacturer and the auto manufacturer. Possible claims for injuries that occur as the result of a defective airbag include the following:
- Products liability claim (manufacturing, design defect, or failure to warn)
- Personal injury claim
- Wrongful death (if the defective airbag resulted in death)
- Workers’ compensation claim (if the injury occurred while driving on the job)
- Social Security disability claim (if the injury is disabling)
