Airbag Injuries in Lexington

Defective product recalls on airbags may be issued by either the manufacturer or the federal government. Still, many vehicles in the United States can contain faulty airbags without anyone knowing. When these defective airbags cause injury, the victims have certain legal options based on product liability law.

Generally, three theories exist in holding a manufacturer responsible for defective products, including airbags:

• Strict Liability: When it comes to a defective airbag claim, strict liability is a common strategy among attorneys. That’s because, under the concept of strict liability, the plaintiff only needs to prove that the airbag was unreasonably dangerous, causing injury.
• Negligence: To prove negligence, the plaintiff must present evidence that shows the company failed to take reasonable precautions to ensure the safety of the airbag in question.
• Warranty Breach: An automobile and its components often come with warranties. Sometimes, these warranties are expressed, and sometimes, they are implied. In certain instances, a defective airbag causing injury could constitute a breach of warranty.

The injuries caused by a defective airbag can cause an array of life-altering medical issues that are both physically and emotionally taxing for the victim. Unfortunately, these injuries also cause unwanted financial burdens as medical bills pile up.
