Airbags are required equipment on all automobiles and have saved countless lives. However manufacturers and distributors of airbags in some cases fail to consider evidence from crash tests or use proper care to protect the public against injuries caused by airbag failure. Settlements and lawsuits regarding defective or malfunctioning airbags provide the benefits accident victims and their families need to pay the cost of serious injury or wrongful death. Injury settlements also encourage the auto equipment industry to improve research and production methods and protect others from similar tragic accidents.
Miami attorney Justin Ziegler accepts cases where victims of airbag failure sustained serious injuries including extensive burns. I may have to hire an airbag expert who is necessary to demonstrate the liability of responsible parties in airbag failure lawsuits.
If you suspect a defective airbag is responsible for your injury or loss of a family member in a car accident, it is important to get legal advice. Airbag injury lawsuits may involve a variety of airbag malfunctions, including airbags that fail to deploy or inflate and overly aggressive deployment of airbags. Injuries caused by airbags include severe burns, whiplash, eye injuries (even blindness), partial decapitation, spinal cord damage, paraplegia, quadriplegia, traumatic brain injury (TBI), or death.
