The Purpose of Airbags
Airbags are designed with the primary objective of reducing the risk of serious injury or death in the event of a car accident. They deploy rapidly upon impact, creating a cushioning barrier between the vehicle’s occupants and hard surfaces.
However, the force generated during an airbag deployment, though intended to be protective, can sometimes result in injuries of its own.
Common Airbag-Related Injuries
Airbags can malfunction and cause injuries. Sometimes, the injuries are minor, and other times, airbag injuries can be severe.
The forceful deployment of an airbag can cause friction burns and abrasions on the skin, especially in cases where passengers are close to the airbag at the time of deployment. Airbags can cause facial injuries, such as fractures, contusions, and lacerations, particularly when the deployment is forceful. These injuries may occur if the airbag strikes the face at high speed.
Injuries to the neck and chest are common due to the rapid inflation and deflation of airbags. The impact can cause strains, sprains, or more severe injuries to these areas. The chemicals used in the inflation process can irritate the eyes, causing redness, tearing, and, in some cases, more serious eye injuries.
The loud sound produced during airbag deployment can lead to temporary or permanent hearing loss.
Seeking Compensation for Airbag-Related Injuries in Spring Hill
If you’ve sustained injuries from an airbag deployment during a car accident, it’s important to know that you have legal rights to seek compensation. The process involves proving negligence on the part of the other party, such as a reckless driver or a faulty airbag design. To build a strong case, follow these crucial steps:
Your health is the top priority. Visit a healthcare professional immediately after the accident, even if your injuries seem minor. Prompt medical attention not only ensures your well-being but also creates a record of your injuries. If possible, take photos of the accident scene, including the deployed airbags, vehicle damage, and any visible injuries. This documentation can serve as valuable evidence later on.
Collect the contact information of all parties involved in the accident, as well as any eyewitnesses. Exchange insurance details with other drivers. Keep all relevant documents, such as medical records, accident reports, and repair estimates. These documents can strengthen your case when seeking compensation. You also want to schedule a consultation with a specialist from Morgan & Morgan to learn more about your legal options.
