Defective Air Bags
Frontal air bags are designed to deploy in crashes that are equivalent to hitting a solid, fixed barrier at 8 to 14 mph or higher. That would be equivalent to striking a parked car of similar size at about 16 to 28 mph or higher, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If your air bag failed to inflate and you suffered serious injuries, our car accident attorneys can investigate. Sometimes, though, air bags deploy with such force that a driver is struck in the face — causing broken noses, cheeks, and other bones and injuring eyes. Children also have died from suffocation. If your air bag caused a serious injury, it may have been defective. The manufacturer may be responsible for compensating you financially.
