Airbag Injuries in Birmingham

If you suffer from airbag injuries in Birmingham, you may be eligible for compensation depending on the circumstances surrounding the incident that caused your injury.

If the injuries resulted from a crash caused by another driver's negligence, an attorney could help you hold them accountable for damages, either through a negotiated settlement or a lawsuit. If a defective airbag malfunctions, causing your injury, you may have a product liability case against the airbag or vehicle manufacturer.

Airbag malfunctions have become increasingly common in recent years. One well-known example is the Takata airbag recall after the airbag was blamed for 27 deaths and 400 injuries, according to the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration. At Morgan & Morgan, our airbag injury experts can help determine the cause of your airbag injuries, identify all liable parties, and manage your compensation claim.

FAQ

Common Airbag Injuries

For an airbag to protect drivers and their passengers, they must inflate with incredible force within a fraction of a second. That force alone can cause injury, even if the airbag protects the occupants from more serious harm.

Common airbag injuries can include the following:

hand, wrist, and finger sprains and fractures
eye injuries
burns, lacerations, and abrasions to the arms, chest, neck, and face
chest injuries
bruises

When an airbag deploys correctly and causes injury during an accident, the liable party may be responsible for compensating the accident victim for medical bills, lost wages, pain, and suffering.

Sometimes, a vehicle’s airbag will malfunction. If a defective airbag either causes or worsens an accident victim's injuries, the airbag or vehicle manufacturer may be liable through a product liability claim.

There are many ways in which an airbag can malfunction, from deploying at the wrong time or with the wrong amount of force to failing when no crash has occurred or failing to deploy at all during a crash.
