Defective Airbag

Airbags are supposed to protect us in a crash. But when they don’t work—or worse, when they cause more harm than good—the results can be devastating. A defective airbag can lead to serious injuries, even in accidents that should have been minor. If you or someone you love was hurt because an airbag failed or deployed the wrong way, you may have a legal case.

At Farzan Law, attorney Alex Farzan helps victims of defective airbags understand their rights and take action against the companies responsible. These cases are not just about what went wrong—they’re about holding manufacturers accountable and making sure you’re not left to deal with the aftermath on your own.

When Airbags Make Things Worse

Airbags are meant to reduce the force of impact in a crash. But when they’re designed poorly, installed incorrectly, or made with faulty parts, they can cause injuries instead of preventing them.

Some airbags don’t open at all when they should. Others deploy too late, or too fast, or with too much force. In some cases, airbags have exploded, sending sharp metal pieces flying through the car. These kinds of failures have caused burns, broken bones, brain injuries, and even deaths.

You did nothing wrong. You bought or used a car expecting it to be safe. If the airbag failed and left you injured, the company that made or installed it should be held responsible.

What Causes Airbags to Fail?

There are a few common reasons airbags don’t work properly. Sometimes the airbag system is wired incorrectly. Other times, the sensor that tells the airbag when to deploy is defective or too sensitive. In some well-known cases, like the Takata airbag recalls, the materials used inside the airbag were unstable and could explode under certain conditions.

Whatever the cause, if an airbag failed during a crash—or caused a crash by deploying when it shouldn’t have—it could be the result of a product defect. These problems may trace back to the carmaker, the airbag supplier, or another company involved in building the system.

At Farzan Law, we work to find out exactly what happened, how the defect caused the injury, and who should be held accountable.

What You Can Recover

If you were injured because of a faulty airbag, you may be able to recover money for the medical care you needed, both right after the crash and later on. That includes hospital visits, surgeries, follow-up appointments, physical therapy, and medications. If you missed work because of your injury, you may also be able to recover your lost wages.

In addition to these financial losses, the law also allows you to seek compensation for pain and suffering. If your injury changed how you live day to day—if it caused long-term pain, scarring, or emotional distress—you deserve to be compensated for that, too.

If you lost a loved one because of a defective airbag, we can help you file a wrongful death claim and seek justice for what was taken from your family.
