Northern California Defective Airbags Lawyer
Northern California Defective Airbags
Between 1990 and 2006, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported more than 260 individuals were killed by airbags in low-speed crashes. Intended as a supplemental safety device, airbags can save lives. However, a defective airbag can cause as much harm as it can help save lives. Airbags are designed to deploy in moderate to severe crashes, but a defective airbag may not deploy at all. The result of an airbag not deploying can be serious injury or death for the occupants of a vehicle. Serious injuries and death can also result when an airbag inflates for no apparent reason or in low-speed auto collisions. Frontal and side-impact airbags can inflate with extreme force - as fast as 200 m.p.h. The force created by an airbag can inflict blunt trauma injuries, contusions, chemical burns, broken bones, hearing damage and blindness.

Children and Defective Airbags
Small, fragile children can be killed by a deployed airbag in any circumstance, which is why California law does not permit children under the age of six (or under 60 pounds) to ride in the front seat of a car. Some child health experts recommend that children do not ride in the front seat of a car until they are twelve or 4 feet, 5 inches in height. If your child was injured by a defective airbag, contact a northern California defective airbag lawyer at Estey Bomberger. We can help protect your child’s legal rights.
Who Is Responsible for Defective Airbag Injuries?
Injured victims may be entitled to monetary compensation from a negligent or careless auto manufacturer. Any costs related to the injury, such as hospital visits, medical expenses, medical devices, medicine, lost earnings and care-giving services may be won in a product liability lawsuit. In addition, victims may be compensated for diminished quality of life, physical pain and emotional distress.
