    When a Safety Feature Causes Serious Harm

    Airbags are designed to protect drivers and passengers, but when they malfunction or deploy with excessive force, they can cause severe injuries. In Manhattan, defective or exploding airbags have been linked to facial fractures, burns, hearing loss, broken bones, and life-threatening trauma, often leaving victims with long recoveries and mounting medical bills.

    New York law allows injured individuals to pursue compensation when an airbag’s design defect, manufacturing flaw, or failure to warn causes harm. These cases frequently involve large auto manufacturers and require detailed investigations, expert analysis, and experienced legal advocacy to prove liability.

    If you were injured by a defective or exploding airbag in Manhattan, a Morgan & Morgan attorney can help protect your rights. Schedule a free, no-obligation case evaluation through our website. Let us fight for the compensation you need to move forward.

    FAQ
    • How an Airbag Manufacturer's Negligence Can Cause Injuries

      Manufacturer's negligence, in the context of airbag injuries, manifests in several ways. Say, for example, the airbag is poorly designed. In that case, it might deploy too forcefully or fail to deploy at all during a crash, leading to severe injuries or even deaths.

      Issues in the manufacturing process, such as using substandard materials or failing to follow proper assembly protocols, can also result in defective airbags. These defects might not be apparent until an accident occurs, at which point the airbag's failure can exacerbate the harm from the collision.

      In addition, negligence can occur if the manufacturer fails to adequately test the airbags. Insufficient testing means potential problems aren't identified and fixed before the product hits the market.

      Another important aspect is the lack of proper warnings or instructions about the airbag's risks and usage. Without clear guidance, users might be unaware of how to ensure their safety correctly.

      The same applies if a manufacturer doesn't promptly notify vehicle owners about a recall for faulty airbags, those defective systems remain in use, putting the lives of drivers and passengers at risk.

    • Common Defective Airbag Injuries

      When an airbag deploys, it does so with a significant amount of force. Such a face is more than enough to cause various types of injuries, especially if the airbag has defects or malfunctions. For perspective, some common injuries caused by defective airbags include:

      • Bruising, cuts, and fractures to the face.
      • Broken ribs or sternum.
      • Chemical burns from the airbag deployment.
      • Damage from debris or the force of the airbag.
      • Whiplash or cervical spine injuries.
      • Damage from the loud deployment.
      • Damage to organs from the impact.
      • Fractures or sprains from the force.

      Note that most of these injuries are expensive to treat. Depending on their severity, you may need long-term medical care. We've also witnessed cases of disabilities and even lost earning potential due to airbag-related injuries.
