Airbag Injuries in Charleston

Airbags are truly a modern marvel, having saved countless lives since they were introduced over three decades ago. However, while airbag manufacturers continue developing more advanced systems featuring enhanced capabilities, they are far from perfect.

Airbags have been known to deploy inadvertently or incorrectly and have sequencing and sensor placement issues. Take, for example, the recently recalled Takata airbag, which, according to the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration, has caused at least 27 deaths and injured as many as 400 people.

Anyone injured because of a defective airbag has a right to seek compensation for their injuries. At Morgan & Morgan, we specialize in addressing airbag injuries in Charleston.
