Types of Airbag Defects
Until an attorney from Dallas & Turner has inspected the airbag system, it is impossible to determine what caused your airbag to fail. However, some of the more common causes of injury include:
Airbag Fails to Deploy
Federal regulations help determine which types of collisions should trigger airbag deployment; however, there have been instances when the airbag failed to deploy even though it met the required minimum threshold.
Suppose you were involved in a collision and your airbag failed to deploy. In that case, it is always advisable to have an attorney examine the airbag system for your vehicle and make and model to ensure it is not defective.
Incorrect Timing Mechanism
Airbags are designed to deploy with precision timing following a collision. If the timing mechanism is damaged or not functioning properly, the mere half-second or less delay in deploying can result in severe and fatal injuries.
Incorrect Energy/Force Deployment
When airbags were first introduced to vehicles back in the '90s, the deployment speed and force were so great that they resulted in several deaths and serious injuries. Stringent government regulations have helped to ensure these incidents are a rarity.
If you believe excessive airbag force has left you with serious injuries, you must have the system investigated to ensure the mechanism that controls deployment speed is not defective.
Defective Parts Related to Airbag System
Several internal components and sensors are required to ensure an airbag system works properly. If any of these parts fail, the potential for airbag failure increases dramatically.
Recently, the Takata airbag recall has been in the news for the company's production of airbag systems that have the potential to explode with shrapnel upon deployment due to faulty components. (Takata airbags were installed on millions of vehicles across ten different car manufacturers, making it one of the largest airbag recalls ever.)
Ultimately, automobile manufacturers and the partners they choose to work with are responsible for the safe installation and proper functioning of a vehicle's airbag system. When these systems fail, the responsible parties should be held accountable.
