Common causes of defective air bags that may determine if you need an air bag failure lawyer
Failure to Deploy
Front and side airbags are meant to deploy when a substantial collision has occurred. On occasion, one or both of the front or side airbags may fail to deploy on impact. When this occurs as a result of a design or manufacturing defect, the victim can suffer serious injuries by impacting with the steering wheel, windshield or other parts of the vehicle and may be entitled to compensation.
Overpowering Deployment
Air bags from the early-generation have been known for deploying too forcefully. Someone injured from an overpowered air bag can receive catastrophic and even fatal injuries.
Late Deployment
If an air bag deploys late, the vehicle occupant may suffer even more severe injuries than they would have had the air bag deployed immediately on impact. There are certain clues that may suggest such late deployment has occurred, such as a bent steering wheel, deformed air bag module cover, or the individual’s contact marks appearing on the steering wheel.
Inadvertent Deployment
There have been instances where a vehicle’s air bag deploys in a minor impact or when there is no crash at all. In this type of situation, the deployed air bag can cause injuries that could have been avoided if the air bag was working properly.
Safety equipment is expected to perform up to expectations and save your life. When airbag failure occurs, you deserve compensation to rebuild your life and recover damages for loss of property, finances or pain and suffering.
