Airbag Injuries in Alpharetta

Today’s vehicles, thankfully, are equipped with lifesaving airbags that reduce injuries when car accidents occur. Airbags are designed to reduce the crash impact and serve as an important buffer between occupants and the vehicle's dashboard, steering wheel, windshield, and other areas. When designed and manufactured properly, an airbag is a highly effective safety device that prevents serious injury and death.

Unfortunately, malfunctioning airbags are all too common. For example, the recently recalled Takata airbag has been named the culprit in 27 deaths and as many as 400 injuries across the country, according to the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (NHTSA). In fact, the Takata airbag recall represents one of the largest defective product recalls in history. Yet, even when airbags deploy correctly, they can cause serious injury.

For anyone who has suffered airbag injuries in Alpharetta, Morgan & Morgan offers relief by filing a personal injury claim or product liability case on your behalf and seeking compensation for your injuries.
