What is an Airbag Failure?

A faulty airbag or a malfunction can be caused by design defects, manufacturing errors, or even issues related to recalls that were never addressed. When an airbag fails to deploy, it significantly increases the risk of severe injury, even in minor accidents.

Airbags should deploy in a timely and controlled manner during a wreck to save lives. Defective airbags are more common than you might think. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 50,000 Toyota vehicles were deemed unsafe to drive in 2024 due to defective airbags. Airbag malfunctions can happen for several reasons, including:

  • Manufacturing Defects: Errors during production can lead to faulty systems.
  • Design Defects: Some airbag systems may have been poorly designed and fail to deploy in certain conditions.
  • Sensor Issues: Malfunctions in sensors that trigger airbag deployment can prevent them from activating.

    Wrongful Death
    To prove a wrongful death claim, you generally need to establish that the death resulted from the defendant’s negligence or intentional misconduct. Common elements include demonstrating duty, breach of duty, causation, and damages. An attorney can help you navigate the specific requirements in your jurisdiction.
    Answer
    Wrongful Death
    Yes, in most jurisdictions, certain family members or representatives can file a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of the deceased person. These parties often include spouses, children, parents, or the estate’s executor. The specific rules can vary by state.
    Answer
    Wrongful Death
    Yes, you can sue for emotional distress in a wrongful death case. Emotional distress is a common element in wrongful death claims, as surviving family members often suffer significant emotional pain and suffering as a result of the loss.
    Answer
    Wrongful Death
    Not all wrongful death lawsuits go to court. Many cases are resolved through negotiations and settlements with the at-fault party or their insurance company. Whether your case goes to court depends on factors like the strength of your case and the parties’ willingness to reach an agreement.
    Answer
    Wrongful Death
    The time it takes to resolve a wrongful death case can vary widely. Some cases settle in months through negotiations, while others may take years if litigation is involved. The complexity of the case and the willingness of the parties to reach an agreement play a significant role.
    Answer

    Common causes of wrongful death cases include car accidents, medical malpractice, workplace accidents, premises liability accidents, defective products, and criminal actions like homicide or manslaughter. These cases typically involve negligence or intentional wrongdoing that leads to a person’s death.
    Answer
    Wrongful Death
    Compensation in a wrongful death lawsuit may include medical and funeral expenses, lost income, loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and in some cases, punitive damages. The exact amount depends on factors like the circumstances of the death and the impact on surviving family members.
    Answer
    Wrongful Death
    A wrongful death attorney specializes in representing the surviving family members of a deceased person whose death was caused by the negligence, misconduct, or intentional actions of another party. They work to pursue compensation on behalf of the family for damages resulting from the loss, such as medical expenses, funeral costs, lost income, and emotional suffering. These attorneys handle all legal aspects of the case, including investigation, negotiations, and, if necessary, litigation.
    Answer
    Wrongful Death
    Important evidence in a wrongful death case may include medical records, accident reports, witness statements, expert testimony, and any documents related to the death, such as employment records or product defects. Your attorney will gather and present this evidence to build your case.
    Answer
    Wrongful Death
    The statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death claim varies by state, but it typically ranges from one to three years from the date of the death. It’s crucial to consult with an attorney promptly to determine the specific time limit in your jurisdiction.
