How Airbags Can Cause Injuries
When an airbag doesn’t deploy properly, injuries can happen. Here are a few examples of how airbags can malfunction.
- Airbag deploys too late after a crash
- The airbag deploys when no crash is detected
- Airbag contains shrapnel
- The airbag doesn’t deploy after a collision
- Not all airbags deploy adequately
Since airbags deploy at a rate of around 200 mph, you can sustain severe injuries.
Common Types of Airbag Injuries in Jersey City
Some airbag injuries are relatively minor, like a bruised shoulder. Other injuries are more severe. Here’s a look at some of the common types of airbag injuries.
Facial Injuries
The impact of the airbag can cause bruises and small cuts on your face. The force of the deployment can also burst eardrums and result in other types of ear injuries. Temporary or permanent loss of hearing can occur, along with a persistent ringing sound in your ears. The chemicals that inflate the airbag can cause eye injuries and even broken facial bones like your nose and cheeks.
Chest Injuries
Chest injuries from airbags include fractured ribs, internal bleeding, and even heart problems. The impact of the airbag and the force of the seatbelt pulling you back can cause chest pain and bruising that lasts for weeks after the accident.
Head and Neck Injuries
The extreme force from an airbag can knock your head back, causing a traumatic brain injury. The force from the airbag can also cause whiplash, a soft tissue neck injury. If you’re hit in the face, neck, or head by an airbag, seek immediate medical attention.
