Airbags are designed to provide protection and safety to vehicle occupants. However, over the years, since the invention and installation of air bags in vehicles, many individuals have sustained severe injuries from their deployment. These include neck trauma, traumatic brain injuries, and spine injuries. When triggered by a crash impact, airbags eject from an enclosed space at approximately 100 mph. At that speed, the airbag impacts the body. If the timing of the airbag deployment is off and your body has already moved forward from the momentum of the crash, your body may be too close to the deploying airbag and sustain injuries. In some cases, the chemicals that initiate the deployment of air bags can also inflict injuries on car crash victims. Defective airbags can also lead to serious injuries even when there has been no collision. The Takata airbag recall saga is one example in which faulty airbags have caused numerous injuries and deaths. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), this recall was “the largest and most complex safety recall in U.S. history.” It involved vehicles (mostly model years 2002 to 2015) from 19 vehicle manufacturers in which front and/or passenger side airbags were recalled, some of which could deploy in an explosive manner, releasing metal shards into the cabin, and causing injury or death to vehicle occupants. More than a dozen individuals lost their lives in the U.S. due to the faulty deployment of these airbags.
