Our dedicated attorneys represent those who have suffered serious injury or wrongful death as well as economic loss, personal loss and future damages due to negligence. This includes airbag injuries, serious motor vehicle accidents, motorcycle accidents, defective motor vehicle equipment accidents and other negligence.

The airbag was created to protect motor vehicle passengers in the event of a motor vehicle accident. Many motor vehicles have airbag warnings informing drivers and passengers of possible dangers linked to airbags. The inflation of an airbag is especially dangerous for a child sitting in the front passenger seat. Airbag studies have reported that airbags may cause injury or death to children in the passenger seat even when they are wearing a seatbelt.

Since 1990, over 200 fatalities have resulted from airbags inflating during motor vehicle accidents. Many serious personal injuries may result from the inflation of airbags, including:

Blindness
Eye injuries
Facial injuries
Bone fractures
Bruising

Airbags are designed to protect an averaged sized person of approximately 5'8" and 180 pounds. Studies conducted on drivers shorter or smaller than the prescribed target person have shown that their injuries are sustained due to their being closer to the steering wheel at the time of the motor vehicle accident. No matter the size of the vehicle driver or passenger, airbags pose a physical threat.

Airbag manufacturers can be held liable for the injuries that airbags cause to otherwise oblivious auto passengers. With a capable airbag injury attorney representing your case, you may be able to receive maximum monetary compensation for your injuries.
