Wausau Airbag Failure Attorneys
Airbags are one of the most common automobile safety features in use today, standard on all but the least expensive of production cars. Luxury vehicles have complex systems of curtain- and side-airbags to protect the occupants. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that the lives of about 6,800 people between 1990 and 2008 were saved because of the deployment of airbags.
Unfortunately, as many lives as airbags have saved, there are potential dangers associated with them as well. If you or someone you love has been injured because of a faulty airbag, the Wausau car airbag defect lawyers of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ® may be able to help you. Contact us today by calling 800-242-2874.
The Dangers of Faulty Airbags
The NHTSA further estimates that, between 1990 and 2008, approximately 175 people lost their lives due to airbag deployment. Airbag failure usually comes one of two ways: either through its failure to launch in an accident, or launching accidentally when unneeded. Airbag accidents can cause injuries such as:
- Concussions
- Broken noses
- Eye damage
- Ear damage stemming from the loud noise of the explosive that fires the airbag
- Broken hands
- Broken fingers
- Broken arms
Airbags pose the largest danger to children, whose bones are not as strong or well-developed as adults. The NHTSA estimates that 104 of the 175 deaths linked to airbag deployment were children.
