Airbags exist for the sole purpose of protecting a driver and his or her passengers from harm in the event of a car accident.
However, in some unfortunate cases, an airbag can actually cause injury to an individual, rather than protect him or her from it.
If an airbag malfunctions or is inherently defective, you may be able to bring the product manufacturer to court and sue on the grounds of product liability.
Victims of airbag injuries should not have to suffer alone.
If your injury could have been prevented by responsible installation or manufacturing, you may be entitled to financial compensation under the law to help you pay for any damages (physical, emotional, or monetary) that you may have experienced as a result.
The best way to help your chances for receiving a favorable outcome is by hiring an lawyer to help represent your case.
That way, you can be sure that you are presenting the most pertinent, thorough information possible.
There are several ways in which an airbag can malfunction and cause harm.
This includes the following:

• Fails to deploy in the event of an accident.
  
• Deploys for no apparent reason or as a result of a small bump.
  
• Gas inside of the bag leaks from the casing and causes toxic gases to fill the air.
  

Airbag injuries can range in severity from a small burn, to eye damage, to traumatic brain injury, to wrongful death.
Though death is rare from this occurrence, it is has happened before.
If you or someone you love has been injured by an airbag, contact an experienced attorney right away to file a claim.
These negligent individuals should be held accountable for their actions and the best way to make sure this happens is by hiring a lawyer.
