California Air Bag Failure Attorneys

Lawyers for Victims of Air Bag Injury

Air bags prevented 19,659 auto accident fatalities between 1987 and 2005, according to National Highway Traffic Safety Commission estimates. However, air bags can be life-threatening as well as life-saving.

Air bags deploy at speeds of up to 230 miles per hour and with 1200 pounds of force. Air bag defects can cause a vehicle's air bags to deploy unnecessarily or fail to deploy, causing serious, permanent injuries and death.

If you have suffered an air bag-induced injury, you may be able to recover financial compensation for your pain and suffering, medical bills, rehabilitation, lost wages or income, and property damage. The attorneys of The Reeves Law Group in California have the means and legal expertise to recover significant financial compensation for victims of air bag-induced injury. Please contact us today to learn if we can be of assistance to you. We offer a free consultation and case evaluation.

Defective air bags can cause a number of serious injuries, including:

• Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
• Spinal cord injury (SCI)
• Paralysis
• Neck and head injuries
• Facial injuries
• Eye injuries, including blindness
• Chest injuries
• Internal injury
• Pulverizing fractures of the arms
• Amputation of fingers and thumbs

Air bag injuries can occur when a defective air bag sensor causes air bags to deploy in a low-speed crash. Drivers can suffer severe trauma from the unnecessary deployment of air bags in minor accidents, such as running into a curb or a low-speed collision in a parking lot. For people of short stature, who drive with the car seat fully forward, the risk is especially high. Air bags that fail to deploy when they should also cause serious injury and wrongful death.

Our attorneys will thoroughly investigate your accident to attempt to determine exactly what happened and who is at fault. Then we will work to see that you recover the full amount of damages you have suffered due to the negligence of the liable party.
