Since 1994 airbags are required equipment on all automobiles. The purpose of the air bag is to offer protection against the trauma that occurs when the body is whipped forward during a collision.   In many accidents, air bags have done their job extremely well, saving lives and minimizing injury. However some airbags have been proved defective, causing catastrophic injuries or deaths that could have been avoided had the airbag functioned properly.  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.       

At the law firm of Brown, Rowland, Babb and Campbell, our attorneys handle claims on behalf of victims of airbag failure in lawsuits that recover damages for serious injuries.  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. Call 937-318-1529 to talk with an experienced attorney about your claim. 

Airbag injury lawsuits may involve a variety of airbag malfunctions, including failure to deploy at the point of impact during an accident; airbags that deploy without sufficient cause, either by small impact or no apparent impact at all; or a release of toxic chemicals on deployment due to improper filtration of the gases inside the air bag.  Injuries caused by airbags include severe burns, whiplash, eye injuries, partial decapitation, spinal cord damage, paraplegia, quadriplegia, traumatic brain injury, or death. Our lawyers will see that your claim accurately assesses the full cost of your airbag injury.
