Takata Airbag Injuries in Manhattan
Airbags are some of the most essential features of a vehicle. Drivers and passengers rely on this feature for their safety if anything goes wrong, such as being involved in a car crash.
On the other hand, automobile parts manufacturers have the legal responsibility of ensuring that these features function properly. This is because, while airbags can be life-saving in the event of an accident, they can also be dangerous.
That’s why popular automobile part manufacturer Takata is facing thousands of lawsuits from all over America, including right here in Manhattan. Reports have shown that the automobile parts manufacturer is responsible for manufacturing defective airbags that explode unprovoked, sending shrapnels and metal shards flying into drivers and passengers in the vehicle.
For context, in one well-documented case, authorities responding to the car crash believed that the victim had been shot or stabbed in the face. After further investigation, it was later discovered that those horrific injuries stemmed from the shrapnel projected by the defective airbag directly into the driver’s face.
That’s how serious these injuries are.
If you or a loved one was injured (or killed) in a car accident in a similar manner or anything along those lines, you may be eligible for compensation. Get in touch with us today for a free, no-obligation case evaluation.

What Are the Grounds for Filing a Claim or Lawsuit?
Automobile parts manufacturers make billions of dollars every year. You’d expect them to prioritize your safety, especially given that airbags are designed for this specific reason. So, when these companies drop the ball on your safety, injuring you or your loved ones as a result, you may be able to take legal action against them.
What Damages Can I Recover If I Win?
Speaking of damages, it will all depend on the specifics of your case. That said, from the cases we’ve witnessed, common damages may include but are not limited to medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and more.
What Vehicles Have Defective Takata Airbags?
According to the NHTSA, the list of vehicles considered dangerous to drive - and subject to a recall - includes certain models of the Acura, Chrysler, Dodge, Ford, Honda, and Mazda, among others. To find out if your vehicle has been called due to a faulty airbag, head over to NHTSA’s website and enter the vehicle's 17-digit VIN in the recall tool.
What Are Some Common Injuries Caused By Takata Defective Airbags?
The injuries caused by defective airbags almost seem like a scene straight from a horror movie. Reports have shown that victims suffered massive head injuries, rib fractures, eye injuries, dislocated body parts (especially shoulders), chemical burns, and, worst of all, death.
