Airbag Failures
Airbag Failures Lawyer Maryland
Airbags are an essential safety feature in modern vehicles that are designed to deploy in the event of a car crash. However, sometimes airbags fail to deploy, resulting in serious injuries or even death. If you have been in a car crash where the airbags did not deploy, you may be entitled to legal compensation for your injuries and damages.
Product Liability Claims: If the airbags failed to deploy due to a defect in the airbag system, you may be able to file a product liability claim against the manufacturer of the vehicle or the airbag manufacturer. Product liability claims can include damages for injuries and property damage caused by the defect, as well as compensation for pain and suffering. To prove a product liability claim, you will need to show that the airbag system was defective and that this defect caused your injuries.
Negligence Claims: If the airbags failed to deploy due to the negligence of the vehicle manufacturer, you may be able to file a negligence claim against the manufacturer. Negligence claims can include a variety of damages, such as medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. To prove negligence, you will need to show that the vehicle manufacturer breached their duty of care by failing to properly design, manufacture, or test the airbag system, and that this breach caused your injuries.
Breach of Warranty Claims: If the airbags failed to deploy and the vehicle was still under warranty, you may be able to file a breach of warranty claim against the manufacturer or dealership. Breach of warranty claims can include damages for the cost of repairs and any related expenses, as well as compensation for any injuries or damages caused by the defective airbag system.
Consumer Fraud Claims: If the vehicle manufacturer or dealership knowingly sold a vehicle with a defective airbag system, you may be able to file a consumer fraud claim against them. Consumer fraud claims can include damages for the cost of repairs, any related expenses, and compensation for any injuries or damages caused by the defective airbag system.
In conclusion, if you have been in a car accident where the airbags did not deploy, you may be entitled to legal compensation for your injuries and damages. Legal claims may include making a product liability claim against the manufacturer of the vehicle or the airbag manufacturer, filing a negligence claim against the vehicle manufacturer, filing a breach of warranty claim, or filing a consumer fraud claim. It is important to work with an experienced personal injury lawyer who can help you navigate the legal process and achieve a fair outcome.
