Airbag Injuries in Hilton Head Island

Unfortunately, not all airbags are reliable. If an airbag is defective, it can cause additional injuries during a collision. For instance, a defective airbag can fail to deploy in a crash, or it may deploy at random, separate from a collision. Sudden deployment of an airbag can also cause accidents by distracting or striking the motorist or obstructing their view as they are driving. Consequently, this can result in a variety of injuries, including: 

•    Head injuries

•    Eye injuries

•    Facial fractures

•    Burn injuries

•    Broken bones

•    Spinal cord trauma

•    Death

These types of injuries may also take months or even years to recover from, leading to extensive medical bills and treatments. In addition, sustaining an injury from a faulty airbag can also lead to emotional trauma and financial hardships for the whole family.

Defective airbags can be caused by a number of factors, including manufacturing errors, design flaws, and environmental damage. These defects can take many shapes and include the following situations: 

•    An airbag failing to deploy

•    An airbag failing to inflate fully

•    An airbag failing to maintain proper inflation

•    An airbag deploying with excessive force

•    Malfunctioning inflators

•    Faulty on-off switches

•    A late airbag deployment

•    An airbag sensor malfunction
