Airbags Are Mandatory Safety Features—But Defects Are Dangerous
Modern vehicles are equipped with airbags as a mandatory safety feature. Many vehicles now contain front airbags, side airbags, and even knee airbags. While airbags are designed to protect occupants, defective airbags can be extremely dangerous—especially to children and young adults.
Airbags can cause serious injury or death when they:
- Fail to deploy upon impact – The airbag doesn’t open when it should during a collision
- Deploy unexpectedly – The airbag opens when there is no accident
- Deploy with shrapnel – The airbag explodes, sending metal or plastic fragments into the vehicle
- Deploy improperly – The airbag inflates too forcefully, too weakly, or in the wrong shape
- Have faulty sensors – Sensors incorrectly turn off the airbags or cause them to deploy unnecessarily
Defective airbag accidents can cause serious injuries, including:
- Head, neck, or spinal injuries
- Severe cuts and lacerations (especially from exploding airbags)
- Broken bones and fractures
- Burns from airbag deployment
- Eye injuries and blindness
- Ear injuries and hearing loss
- Internal organ damage
- Internal bleeding
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Wrongful death
Airbag injuries can result in long-term physical, emotional, and financial struggles. Medical treatment can be extensive and expensive, and some injuries may be permanent.

Stay Informed About Vehicle Recalls
As a consumer, it’s important to stay informed about vehicle recalls that may affect your safety. You can search for defects and recalls related to your car by visiting safercar.gov and entering your vehicle identification number (VIN).
- General Motors (GM) Defective Ignition Switch and Airbags – GM has recalled millions of vehicles to address a defective ignition switch problem that can cause the engine to shut off unexpectedly—disabling the airbags in the process. Numerous deaths and injuries have been reported and linked to this defect.
- Takata Exploding Airbags – Millions of vehicles equipped with Takata airbags have been recalled due to a defect that causes airbags to explode violently during deployment, sending metal shrapnel into the vehicle. This defect has caused numerous serious injuries and deaths.
Even if your vehicle was recalled, if you were injured before the recall was issued or before you had the chance to get the repair, you may still have a product liability claim.

Common Questions About Personal Injury Cases in California
If you’ve been injured, you probably have questions about how the legal process works, what it costs, and how long you have to take action. Here are straightforward answers to the questions we hear most often from injured Californians.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
The firm offers a free initial consultation. Before hiring the firm, ask for the proposed written agreement explaining attorney fees and case costs, including how they are calculated, when they are owed and what happens if there is no recovery.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in California?
Many California personal injury lawsuits have a two-year limitation period, but the deadline depends on the claim and circumstances. Claims involving government agencies can require an earlier administrative claim. Exceptions and other time limits may apply.
Ask an attorney promptly about the exact deadlines for your situation. Requesting a consultation does not extend a deadline. See the California Courts guide to filing deadlines and its government-claim guide for general information.
How is the value of my case determined?
A website cannot determine what an individual case is worth. An attorney may review responsibility for the incident, available evidence, medical expenses, lost income, the effect of an injury and available insurance or other sources of recovery.
Bring records you already have and ask what additional information would help the review. Any evaluation depends on the facts; a consultation is not a promise of compensation.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Responsibility for an accident can be disputed and can affect a claim and any compensation. Tell the attorney what happened, including facts that may suggest you or another person contributed to the incident.
An attorney can review the evidence and explain how California fault rules may apply. Do not assume that a percentage of fault or a particular recovery can be determined before that review.
How long does a personal injury case take?
There is no single timetable. Treatment, evidence gathering, disputed facts, insurance discussions and any court proceedings can affect how long a matter takes.
Ask the attorney about the likely next steps, what information is still needed and how the team would communicate updates. An initial estimate is not a guaranteed completion date.
Do I have to go to court?
Some injury matters resolve through discussions or settlement; others require a lawsuit and may proceed to trial. The appropriate approach depends on the facts, deadlines and the parties’ positions.
Ask the attorney what steps may be needed, what your participation would involve and how settlement and litigation decisions would be discussed with you.
