Northern California Faulty Airbag Attorneys
Northern California Faulty Airbags
Airbags are a supplemental safety device used in all new cars since the late 1990's. Sensors installed in a vehicle will detect a sudden deceleration and trigger an electric signal, which then ignites the airbag propellant resulting in the deployment of an airbag. Unfortunately, the process of an airbag being deployed may not happen as it is designed to. A faulty airbag can deploy before the impact of a crash, after the impact of a crash or not deploy at all. Faulty airbags can be attributed to many different reasons, such as a defective sensor, malfunctioning airbag part, poor airbag installation or inherently defective airbag design.
An airbag can deploy at speeds up to 200 m.p.h., which can result in devastating injuries for passengers if deployed too early or too late. If the airbag fails to deploy, vehicle occupants could be killed or seriously injured by the secondary impact (being slammed against the interior of a vehicle). Other factors, such as the position of seat, occupant's sitting position and weight, and angle of the airbag during deployment can determine the severity and nature of a victim's injuries. Injuries common in an airbag accident include concussions, brain injuries, blunt trauma injuries, internal organ injuries, spinal cord injuries, hearing loss, blindness, amputation injuries, bone fracture injuries, cuts and bruises.
