If you or a loved has been injured because of a defective air bag, after seeking medical care, contact an attorney. Our New York car accident injury lawyer will inform you of you rights to compensation for pain and suffering, loss or wages, and medical expenses. The following are some of the known causes of these serious, and sometimes fatal, injuries caused by defective air bags or faulty air bag deployment:

Overly aggressive air bags that can deploy too quickly (sometimes at speeds greater than 200 miles per hour)
Oversized air bags that are too large and deploy too far into the occupant’s space
Air bags without tethers (cloth strips that are sewn to the inside of the air bag to limit movement during the inflation process) where movement is not limited and can cause the air bag to deploy too far into the occupant’s space.
Low deployment threshold where the air bag deploys when unnecessary

Other determining factors in air-bag related injuries include:

Unwanted deployment
Failure to deploy when circumstances were appropriate
Obvious frontal impact resulting in personal injury or death.
