What could happen if I have an accident and my airbags are defective?
Our airbag attorneys represent several victims injured by defective airbags. Some of the possible things that could happen with a defective airbag include:
Honda Civic airbag rupture
Airbag deploys with so much force that the inflator explodes and shoots pieces of metal through the airbag itself into the driver and passenger occupant area
Airbag deploys with such great force that it causes the driver or passenger’s clothes to catch on fire
Airbag deploys and catches on fire, causing burns and injuries to the driver or passenger
Airbag does not rupture, but deploys with such great force that it causes far greater injuries than a normal airbag deployment should cause
Airbag fails to deploy
What types of injuries could someone have from a defective airbag?
If an airbag failed to deploy, deployed with excessive force, or shot shrapnel at the driver or passenger, some of the injuries could include:
Driver killed from metal flying through airbag
Driver stabbed in neck from airbag canister metal
Driver’s shirt catches on fire from speed of airbag deployment
Passenger struck by pieces of metal from airbag canister
Passenger burned by fire from airbag
Driver or passenger struck by metal flying through airbag
Driver or passenger killed because the airbag did not deploy
What should I do if I was in a car accident and my car is listed on the recall list?
Call us as soon as possible to evaluate your possible claim. You can reach an airbag lawyer at our office at 800-337-7755, even after hours.
How long do I have to make an airbag claim?
Depending on the model of the vehicle and where the accident occurred, you may have as little as one year or as much as several years. If you had a car accident with possible shrapnel injuries, you can still contact us to see if you may have an airbag claim, even if the accident was more than 3 years ago.
