When we get inside a vehicle, we rely on air bags to protect us in case we get into an auto accident. However, many air bags malfunction or fail, which can result in serious injuries or death for occupants of the vehicle. An air bag can minimize the consequences of an accident and result in minor to no injuries, yet when it fails to deploy, it may wind up catastrophic or deadly. If you were injured in an auto accident in Brooklyn and you feel those injuries would have been minimized if your airbag did not fail to deploy, contact our attorneys today.

Defective airbags can result in various injuries, including but not limited to:

• Bone Fractures
• Miscarriages
• Spinal Cord Injury
• Brain Injury
• Eye injuries
• Burns
• Death

Airbags weren't introduced until the 1980's. All cars that were sold within the US after 1998 were required to be equipped with airbags. Although the manufacturing of airbags has been improved since then, it hasn't been improved enough and there are still flaws when it comes to this technology. New and improved airbags will be required to be equipped by the year 2012. Current statistics show that approximately 250 people die each year from airbag injuries.

Airbags are meant to protect people from colliding with doors, the windshield, steeling column, dashboard, and other parts of the car during a high impact accident. When they fail to deploy, this can result in deadly consequences. On the contrary, when they deploy incorrectly or with too much force, serious or fatal injuries may result as well. If someone you know was hurt or killed due to an airbag deploying with too much force, speak with our attorneys.
