Airbags sometimes deploy at the wrong time
and can even fail to deploy altogether. Serious
injuries and even death can occur from airbags failing
to open. Airbags are designed to deploy when a vehicle
in forward motion decelerates quickly. Most airbag systems
are created to sense vehicle deceleration corresponding
to a frontal collision at speeds in excess of 20 to
25 mph. When airbags fail to deploy under these conditions,
passengers don’t have the benefit of protection
they expect from the airbag and can incur injuries that
could have been prevented.
With the rapid production of airbags, there has been
a corresponding reduction in the severity of some crash-related
injuries, and many lives have been saved by airbags
which function properly. Unfortunately, there has been
an alarming increase in the number of injuries and fatalities
reported as the result of airbags failing to deploy.
Defective airbags are in cars everywhere, and drivers
often don’t discover this until it is too late.
Our accident attorneys fight for the rights of drivers
who depend upon airbags to save their lives in the case
of an accident.
