Defective Airbags
Drivers and passengers alike depend on vehicle safety systems to protect them in the event of a collision. Unfortunately, even the most cautious drivers may find themselves involved in a serious accident, especially if other drivers choose to drive in a reckless manner. In the event of a crash, persons in both vehicles depend on safety systems like anti-lock brakes, seat-belts, and airbags to function properly and be free of defects.
If an airbag fails to deploy properly or is defective in any way, the drivers and passengers of both vehicles may suffer serious injuries as a result. It is the responsibility of vehicle manufacturers to make sure their cars and trucks are free from serious defects that can harm the consumer, and failure to do so may result in a personal injury claim.

Common Airbag Defects
Commonly reported airbag defects include:
- Failure to deploy in the event of a collision
- Late deployment of the airbags
- Inadvertent airbag deployment
- Excessive force during deployment
In addition to the defects listed above, persons may suffer injuries due to ejected vehicle panels during deployment and burns caused by the rapid inflation of the airbag. Regardless of the cause, if a person was injured due to a design or manufacturing defect, the injured party may be eligible for compensation for pain, suffering, and other damages.
