Airbags are a proven safety device that is known to save lives and prevent serious injuries. When these important safety devices fail because of defective design, materials or manufacturing, serious or even fatal injuries can result. If a serious or fatal injury has resulted from a defective airbag, it is important to seek an experienced Orlando car accident lawyer.

Types of Airbag Defects

There are different ways that an airbag can fail. Some of the most common forms of defective airbags include:

  • Failure of airbag to deploy
  • Slow airbag deployment
  • Airbag deployment during a low-speed accident
  • Airbag deploys with too much force
  • Airbag deploys when it is not supposed to
Many defective airbags are caused from the faulty design of the deployment system and sensors. If the vehicle was designed with too few or inadequate sensors, the vehicle may not be able to detect if there was an accident or it may detect an accident when there wasn't one. Some vehicles were designed with overpowered inflators which deploy airbags with dangerous power, while others have been designed with underpowered inflators.

Defective Airbag Injuries

Serious injuries can result from defective airbags that could otherwise have been prevented. Common injuries include:
  • Traumatic brain injury
  • Hemorrhages
  • Burst hearts
  • Spinal injury
  • Severed brain stem
  • Severe neck injury
  • Severe eye injury
  • Facial bone fractures
  • Injuries to the upper extremities
  • TMJ syndrome
