Delaware Airbag Defect Lawyers
With each passing year, motor vehicle manufacturers improve upon existing safety features or implement new ones to make automobile travel safer for everyone. One important safety feature is the airbag. When an airbag functions properly, it can save a person’s life. At the moment of a collision, however, a defective or malfunctioning airbag can cause severe injuries.
If an airbag failure caused you to suffer injuries that would have been less severe or completely absent if it had functioned properly, then you may wish to file a civil claim seeking financial compensation for the harm that you have endured. Contact the Delaware airbag defect lawyers of Morris James LLP at 302-888-6800 to speak directly with a skilled and experienced attorney about your case.
Representative Airbag Defects
Airbags have two significant responsibilities in the event of a motor vehicle accident. Firstly, they serve as a cushion to prevent overly forceful contact with the hard surfaces and objects inside the vehicle. A secondary purpose is that they will keep a driver or passenger in place to limit violent rotation and acceleration of the body.
Airbag defects interfere with both of these functions. The following are representative of the kinds of airbag defects that might appear:
- Failure to deploy
- Early deployment
- Late deployment
- Over-inflation
- Under-inflation
- Airbag rupture (may eject caustic chemicals into the vehicle)
As a consequence of an airbag malfunction, a motorist may suffer traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, facial fractures, dental damage, and other painful injuries. Our Delaware airbag defect attorneys work hard to help victims of such defects receive the compensation they deserve.
