Airbag Injuries in Nashville

Because a vehicle’s airbags inflate with incredible force, airbag injuries in the event of an accident are usually inevitable. The airbag can hurl debris into the face or hyperextend a driver’s fingers and wrists as the hands are pushed off the steering wheel. Fractured bones in the face and skull, as well as internal organ damage, are all common injuries that result from the force of an airbag hitting the chest and face.

Some of the most common airbag injuries in Nashville car accidents include:

• irritation to the eyes, throat, and nose due to the chemical powders coating airbags
• sprained wrists and fingers
• facial fractures
• bruises
• rib fractures

While most minor airbag injuries will usually heal within eight weeks after the accident, some airbag injuries cause more significant damage, including permanent disability and even death. More serious airbag injuries can include internal organ damage, internal bleeding, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, and more.
