How a Defective Airbag Can Cause Serious Injuries
Defective airbags can cause serious injuries when they malfunction. Here’s how.
Instead of providing protection, they might deploy with too much force, fail to deploy during a crash, or even explode unexpectedly, especially in hot and humid environments.
These issues can lead to severe burns, fractures, shrapnel injuries, and even death.
Grounds for Filing a Claim or Lawsuit
The following are admissible reasons for filing a claim or lawsuit after sustaining injuries caused by a defective airbag:
- Flaws that occur during the production process or somewhere further down the line, resulting in faulty airbags and serious injuries.
- Lack of proper warnings or instructions about the airbag's risks and proper use.
- Violation of the guarantee that the product will perform safely as advertised.
Has Anyone Been Killed by a Defective Airbag?
Yes, unfortunately, defective airbags have resulted in fatalities, including right here in Florida.
Just recently, a mom of two was killed when an airbag detonated “like a grenade.” The 22-year-old mother was driving a 2020 Chevrolet Malibu at the time of the incident.
Nationwide, more than 30 car accident deaths have been linked to defective airbags.
Who Can Be Held Responsible?
When it comes to defective airbag injuries, several parties may be held responsible. These include but are not limited to:
- Airbag manufacturers
- Vehicle manufacturers
- Parts suppliers
- Distributors and retailers
- Mechanics or service providers who installed or repaired the airbag
What Damages Can I Recover?
Each case has unique facts. For this reason, there are no standard damages for airbag injury cases; they vary from case to case.
That said, if you have a valid case, you may be able to recover the following damages:
Medical expenses (current and future)
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Rehabilitation costs
- Property damage
- loss of earning capacity
- Punitive damages (in cases of gross negligence)
