Defective Airbags

If you ever find yourself involved in a serious car accident, an airbag could end up saving your life. Unfortunately, some airbag devices may be defective, or could fail to deploy properly in the event of a crash. Defective Airbags can cause devastating injuries, and even death.

In 2015, several major auto manufacturers launched what was referred to at the time as “the largest auto recall ever” due to defective airbags that were causing serious injuries. When deployed, these defective airbags were known to explode, sending dangerous shrapnel and debris into the face of the driver. Several motorists were seriously, and even fatally, injured by these defective airbags.

If airbags fail to deploy in the event of an accident, the resulting injuries can be just as devastating. Every airbag device comes equipped with a computer module designed to detect a sudden decrease in speed caused by a car accident. If this device is does not function properly the airbag could fail to deploy, leaving the driver at risk of suffering severe head or brain injuries.

Common airbag malfunctions include:

  • Failure to deploy
  • Failure to deploy at moderate speeds
  • Deploying with too much force
  • Deploying without impact
