Air Bag Injuries

Air bags deploy at speeds in excess of 200 mph, and since they are designed to restrain an average-sized male, such bags can have devastating effect on a person, especially on small women and children. This defect can cause severe head injuries, brain damage, blindness, and even decapitation.

Even when one is cautious, airbags can be unforgiving. When a manufacturer designs, produces, or installs an airbag incorrectly, serious injuries and deaths can result. Defective airbags include, but are not limited to, those that deploy with too much force, deploy in minor collisions when they are not otherwise needed, or fail to deploy under circumstances in which they should. Thousands of automobiles with defective air bag systems are on the road in the United States today. When those cars are involved in routine collisions, people are unnecessarily injured.
