A car accident is a traumatic experience any time it happens. But when trauma and injuries are compounded as a result of failed safety equipment, you may feel even more frustrated and betrayed. After all, the airbag was supposed to protect you.
There are two levels of liability in a two (or multiple) car accident. One level concerns the other driver, who may have caused the accident. The other level concerns the manufacturer responsible for a defective part, such as an airbag failure. If a failing airbag contributed to your injuries, the manufacturer may be held liable in a personal injury case.
