Austin Air Bag Defect Lawyers
Air bags are intended to protect a motorist against certain severe trauma in the event of a collision. These bags inflate very quickly to prevent a motorist’s face from striking the steering wheel during an accident. In addition to front-end air bags, many vehicles now employ side collision airbags. These air bags protect a motorist from side-end collision injuries in addition to injuries that may occur if a motorist’s head collides with a window.
When air bags are defective or malfunctioning, they can actually do more harm than good. For information regarding your legal rights if you have been hurt due to an air bag failure, contact the Austin air bag defect attorneys of the Law Offices of Vic Feazell, P.C., at 512-372-8100 today.
Air Bag Malfunction Injuries
An air bag may malfunction for a variety of reasons. Common problems include manufacturing defects that are introduced when the safety device is fabricated in the automotive factory. These errors can result in serious injuries if the air bags in a vehicle do not inflate properly when crash conditions call for their deployment.
The following injuries may occur as a result of air bag failures:
- Facial fractures
- Dental injuries
- Brain injuries
- Skull fractures
- Neck injuries
- Whiplash
These injuries can prove extremely serious in some cases. In particular, brain injuries sustained due to an airbag failure can lead to potentially permanent disability.
