When an Airbag Explodes Instead of Protecting You
Airbags are designed to reduce injury in a crash, not cause catastrophic harm. When an airbag explodes, ruptures, or deploys defectively, victims in Fort Lauderdale may suffer facial injuries, burns, eye trauma, broken bones, internal injuries, or worse. Being harmed by a safety device can leave victims facing both physical pain and overwhelming questions about how it happened.
Florida law allows people injured by defective airbags to pursue product liability claims, but these cases are often complex and aggressively defended. Manufacturers and automakers may deny fault, point to recalls, or shift blame throughout the supply chain. Strict deadlines and technical evidence requirements can make it difficult to pursue justice without experienced legal guidance.

Understanding Defective Airbags
Airbags are supplemental safety features in all car models produced since 1998. Working in conjunction with seatbelts, they are designed to provide additional protection to vehicle occupants.
Airbags have three distinct parts: an airbag module, a diagnostic unit, and a crash sensor. When the airbag deploys correctly, it has historically been shown to save lives. However, airbags also pose risks and serious product liability concerns.
Some of the most common ways airbags have been deemed defective, causing injury, include:
- Deploying when they aren’t supposed to. An airbag may deploy unexpectedly, often due to a faulty crash sensor.
- A failure to deploy. An airbag may not deploy during a car accident. This is likely because of an electrical issue.
- Deploying with too much force. A functioning airbag deploys with great force, but sometimes, the force may be excessive because of faulty manufacturing.
- Not deploying with enough force. When an airbag deploys too slowly, typically due to improper installation, it can be just as dangerous as one that doesn’t deploy at all.
