Airbag Defect
One of the foremost concerns for many motorists is the presence of effective safety features. Airbags and other devices have served to dramatically reduce the injury and fatality rates of motor vehicle accidents when they perform as they are designed and intended. Unfortunately, defective or malfunctioning airbags can lead to injuries just as serious or worse than those which would have occurred were there no airbag present at all.
If you have been hurt in a car accident where an airbag failed to function properly, then it may be appropriate to consider filing a lawsuit against the negligent automaker responsible. Let us help you to determine the potential merit of a legal action in your case. Contact the Houston airbag defect attorneys of Williams Kherkher at 832-369-8296.
Examples of Airbag Defects
The system that is responsible for determining whether the airbag is needed and for directing it to deploy depends upon the proper function of a number of different parts. Any sensor or computer errors can complicate the airbag’s success. Some of the airbag defects that may affect driver and passenger safety include:
- Failure to deploy
- Premature deployment
- Under-inflation or over-inflation
- Rupturing and spillage of caustic chemical powders
The actions of careless auto manufacturers can have far-reaching consequences for innocent victims. Our Houston airbag malfunction attorneys are committed to helping victims of airbag defects fight for the full compensation they need.
