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?
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means we only get paid if we recover compensation for you. You pay no attorney fees unless we win your case.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in California?
In most cases, you have two years from the date of your injury to file a claim. However, some cases have shorter deadlines, especially claims involving government entities. It’s important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
How is the value of my case determined?
Every case is different. The value depends on factors like the severity of your injuries, your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and how the injury has affected your daily life. We review all of these factors during your free consultation.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
California follows a “comparative negligence” rule, which means you can still recover compensation even if you were partly responsible. Your settlement may be reduced by your percentage of fault, but you’re not automatically disqualified.
How long does a personal injury case take?
It depends. Some cases settle in a few months, while others, especially those involving serious injuries or disputes over fault, can take longer. We move as quickly as possible while making sure you receive fair compensation.
Do I have to go to court?
Most personal injury cases settle out of court. However, we prepare every case for trial to strengthen your negotiating position and ensure you’re not pressured into accepting less than you deserve.
