Airbags have proven to be effective in preventing drivers and front-seat passengers from smashing directly into the steering wheel or dashboard upon impact. The fact that airbags help prevent serious injuries and save lives does not exempt auto manufacturers, airbag manufacturers, inspectors, and other parties from the responsibility they have to ensure that an airbag deploys correctly.

A number of dangers can be attributed to improper airbag deployment, including:

  • Severe head injuries
  • Whiplash
  • Broken bones
  • Permanent eye damage
  • And more

An airbag deploying at the wrong moment could restrict a driver's ability to maintain control of his or her vehicle thus causing a serious and potentially deadly accident.

Can I File a Claim or Lawsuit for Injuries Caused by a Defective Airbag?

Airbags are specifically designed to deploy when a vehicle gets into an accident at a preset level of speed. At the moment of impact, a sensor in the vehicle should trigger an ignition device which will immediately fill the airbag with nitrogen, or another type of gas, and cause it to deploy. The entire process takes less than 1/20th of a second.

Any failure of an airbag to deploy at the exact moment of impact could result in catastrophic and life-threatening injuries.

A defective or malfunctioning airbag could be the result of:

  • Electrical or wiring issues
  • An improperly set deployment threshold
  • Inadequate sensor placement
  • Failure to reinstall airbags once they have deployed
  • Software error
  • A tear in the airbag fabric
  • Lack of sufficient warnings or instructions
  • And various other factors
