New York City Defective Airbag Lawyers
Many consumers believe that more airbags equals more safety, and this is a belief that some car companies are happy to encourage in their marketing efforts. While this may be accurate in some cases, defective airbags have the potential to be more dangerous in a crash than not having airbags at all. Sometimes, defective airbags actually cause automobile accidents.
Faulty airbags are often the fault of the manufacturer, but this is not always the case. If you or someone you love suffered an injury because of a faulty airbag, contact the New York City defective airbag lawyers of Parker Waichman Alonso, LLP at 1-888-244-2273 to learn more about your legal rights.
Potential Airbag Faults and Dangers
In most cases, airbag defects refer to problems with deployment. This may include:
- Early or unnecessary deployment
- Delayed or failed deployment
- Excessive or insufficient inflation
When an airbag incorrectly deploys, drivers and their passengers may suffer serious injuries. Though automobile manufacturers are usually to blame for defective airbags, this may not be the case if the car had been previously wrecked. In that case, a mechanic or repair shop may be liable for a faulty airbag.
Since determining fault can be difficult, it is important to consult with an experienced auto defect attorney before pursuing legal action.
