While there is no definitive standard number to expect when suing for airbags not deploying, it is important to note the details of the situation.  Airbags not deploying can result in a variety of different outcomes.  The seriousness of the injuries that occurred to the victims is a big factor in determining.  So, how much can you sue if your airbag didn’t deploy?

Injuries From Airbags Not Deploying

The biggest reason for there not being a “one size fits all” when it comes to injuries from airbags not deploying is that there are a wide variety of injuries that can occur.  Some of the most common injuries that occur include:

• Facial Fractures
• Permanent Scarring
• Organ Damage
• And many more 

It is important to know what legal repercussions are viable if such injuries should occur.  The reality is that if your vehicle’s airbag does not deploy, then the manufacturer is in fact at fault for breach of duty to you as a passenger and/or driver.  An airbag is a particularly tricky instrument as they are meant to preserve life, and are not intended to hurt.  However, as often shown in a variety of court decisions, airbags can be detrimental to their purpose.  

Airbag Lawsuits

Lawsuits are particularly difficult to execute when it comes to airbag injuries, mostly due to the fact that airbags exist to protect and not to hurt.  The force with which airbags are employed lends itself to understanding why certain airbag situations occur and lead to injuries.  An experienced injury attorney will know the right path to take when it comes to making sure that you are accurately compensated.
