How Do I Know If My Airbag Is Defective?
Put simply, an airbag is meant to save your life and prevent catastrophic injury. If you were in a car accident, a late or faulty airbag deployment could result in severe neck and back injuries. Airbags that deploy defectively could cause shrapnel to shoot into your face. Worst of all, an airbag could simply not function—resulting in tragic injury or death. If any of these happened to you, you may be entitled to hold your automotive manufacturer accountable.
One airbag manufacturer has been legally liable for countless defective airbags: Takata. Takata airbags were in dozens of vehicles manufactured from 2000 to 2011, meaning there are millions of vehicles on the road that don’t provide proper protection for drivers. Their issue was that their inflator (the device that allows the airbag to inflate in 35 milliseconds or less) uses ammonium nitrate—a chemical rendered useless by humidity. For countless car owners in Florida, that is very bad news.
NHTSA also recalled thousands of airbags made by Continental.
