Airbags undoubtedly save lives. The sudden impact of a car accident can violently propel your body. A properly functioning airbag inflates rapidly to cushion you and absorb some of this force, minimizing the risk of serious injuries from hitting the dashboard or steering wheel.
However, like anything else, airbags can have their drawbacks. For example, defective airbags can explode without warning, and even a well-functioning airbag can lead to bone fractures, internal organ damage, and other injuries. A recent example of a defective airbag is the Takata airbag, which was recently recalled, according to the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration, for causing injury and death.
If you have suffered from airbag injuries in Lexington, a personal injury attorney from Morgan & Morgan can determine who is responsible and seek compensation on your behalf.

Defective Product Liability for Airbag Injuries
Defective product recalls on airbags may be issued by either the manufacturer or the federal government. Still, many vehicles in the United States can contain faulty airbags without anyone knowing. When these defective airbags cause injury, the victims have certain legal options based on product liability law.
Generally, three theories exist in holding a manufacturer responsible for defective products, including airbags:
- Strict Liability: When it comes to a defective airbag claim, strict liability is a common strategy among attorneys. That’s because, under the concept of strict liability, the plaintiff only needs to prove that the airbag was unreasonably dangerous, causing injury.
- Negligence: To prove negligence, the plaintiff must present evidence that shows the company failed to take reasonable precautions to ensure the safety of the airbag in question.
- Warranty Breach: An automobile and its components often come with warranties. Sometimes, these warranties are expressed, and sometimes, they are implied. In certain instances, a defective airbag causing injury could constitute a breach of warranty.
