Airbag Injuries in Nashville
According to the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (NHTSA), 50,000 lives were saved by airbags over 35 years in the United States. Since airbags have been required in all new vehicles sold in the US since 1998, your car likely has front airbags.
An airbag inflates rapidly when a built-in sensor detects a frontal impact. As your body connects with the airbag, it pushes you back to prevent you from smashing into the dashboard or steering wheel. However, this force often causes significant injuries. Sometimes, as outlined in the recent Takata airbag recall, airbags can malfunction and cause injury, even when no accident has occurred.
If you suffered airbag injuries in Nashville, you could be eligible for compensation from whoever was responsible for your car accident or even the airbag or vehicle manufacturer. At Morgan & Morgan, our team of airbag injury experts can determine who is at fault and help you hold them responsible.

Common 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.
Regardless of the extent of your injuries, you may be eligible to pursue compensation if your airbag injuries impacted your finances or quality of life.
