Airbags are one of the most important safety features in any vehicle. However, when airbags malfunction, they can become a serious threat to the safety of drivers and passengers.
Faulty or defective airbags may fail to deploy, deploy with excessive force, deploy during minor accidents or even explode, sending shrapnel into the cabin. Each of these malfunctions can cause severe injuries, including broken bones, head trauma, internal injuries and, in the worst cases, death.

Common airbag malfunctions that cause injuries
Airbags are designed to protect occupants during a crash, but when they malfunction, the results can be serious. Depending on the vehicle and the type of collision, defective airbags may fail in several ways, each with its own risks.
- Deploying in minor accidents: Some drivers report that their airbag deployed during a very minor collision. The rapid inflation can cause broken bones, burns, or abrasions.
- Deploying with too much force: When an airbag over-deploys, it can strike the driver or passenger with extreme force, leading to broken ribs, facial injuries, bruising, or even neck and spinal damage.
- Creating shrapnel when deploying: A defective airbag casing may shatter upon deployment, sending fragments flying into the cabin. This shrapnel can cause serious lacerations and other traumatic injuries.
- Failing to deploy: When an airbag does not deploy, occupants are left unprotected, increasing the risk of severe injuries such as internal bleeding, traumatic brain injury, or, in serious collisions, death.
How to file a defective airbag lawsuit
If you or a loved one were seriously injured due to airbag failure, over-deployment, or deployment during a minor accident, you may be eligible to join a defective airbag lawsuit.
