Air bags save lives, but when they fail to work properly they can cause severe injuries for people of all sizes. Vehicle air bag defects and defective restraint systems can be especially dangerous for children and smaller adults. Small people are more likely to be injured due to the excessive force of defective air bags. We are not afraid to take on auto manufacturers responsible for the following air bag defects:

  • Crash Sensors: Faulty signals can cause air bags to inflate when unnecessary or defective sensors can trigger an air bag after it is too late.
  • Horizontal Inflation Path: Safe air bag designs inflate upwards before extending outwards. Dangerous designs extend horizontally.
  • Overly Powerful Inflators: Multi-force inflators have been available for many years, but single-force inflators are still used in many vehicles.
  • Lack of Internal Tethers: Tether straps help the bag inflate in a flat pillow shape and not a round basketball shape, which is closer to the driver or passenger and more harmful.
  • Failure to Test Crash with Range of Dummies: Manufacturers often fail to test how air bags would affect passengers of different statures.

Our nationwide practice has been protecting injured motorists for almost two decades. With our entire practice devoted to vehicle safety defect product liability claims, we have the experience and resource to help individuals who have been seriously injured due to defective air bags.
