Airbag Injury Lawyers & Injury Lawsuits

When talking about airbag injuries, most people assume that an airbag has injured a driver or passenger after it has been deployed in an accident.

While this is true in many cases, there are also a considerable number of airbag injuries that result from the airbag failing to deploy or deploying in an unexpected manner.

In fact, did you know that according to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles more than 24,000 collisions led to an airbag deployment?

Have you or someone you love suffered an injury that was caused by a defective airbag or due to the force of the airbag as it inflated?

Common Types of Passenger Vehicle Airbags

Many vehicle safety devices have been created over the years, from safer vehicle structures to seatbelts to airbags. Since the introduction of airbags into the market back in the 1970s the safety equipment has become standard in most vehicles and some have various airbags to protect occupants.

Some types of airbags include:

• Side Torso
• Knee
• Rear-Curtain
• Seatbelt

Although each airbag was specifically created to protect occupants from the many hazards that arise during a collision, airbags themselves can actually lead to injury.

Common Airbag Injuries

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) analyzed airbag-related fatalities and injuries in 2007. Between 1990 and 2007 there were more than 230 reported airbag fatalities involving children and adults. The majority of those fatally injured were children who were not situated in rear-facing child safety seats. The number of fatalities peaked between 1996 and 2001.

Some common airbag injuries include:

Many individuals will suffer from rashes and difficulty breathing due to the chemicals that are expelled during airbag deployment. Although the chemicals have changed over time, persons in older vehicles may be exposed to more dangerous chemicals.
