In the last two decades it has became a common procedure for many manufacturers to install air bags in vehicles as an added safety precaution to prevent serious injuries in the event of a motor vehicle accident. The air bag is designed to inflate on impact during a collision and prevent the driver and front passenger from suffering serious head, chest, and neck injuries. These air bags are typically located in the steering wheel and dash board. Currently, numerous automobile manufactures around the world equip vehicles with front, roof, and side impact air bags which may help prevent all passengers from coming into contact with hard surfaces during accidents.

Each year in the United States many people sustain serious and even fatal injuries due to air bag failure during automobile accidents. The following are a few examples of air bag failure situations:

• When an air bag deploys without an accident occurring. Air bag failure accidents may cause severe injuries no matter what speed the vehicle is operating at when the air bag inflates.
• When an air bag fails to or does not properly inflate during an accident, placing the driver and/or passengers at risk for serious physical injuries if they hit their head on the dash board or steering wheel.

If you have been seriously injured due to a defective air bag or an air bag failure, the manufacturer may be held liable for your injuries. An experienced New York air bag failure attorney at Wingate, Russotti & Shapiro may be able to recover for you the monetary compensation that you deserve for your air bag failure related injuries.
