Air Bag Injuries and Deaths

Front and side-impact air bags were designed to protect an average sized person who is approximately 5’8” and 180 pounds. The results of recent air bag related studies show that smaller drivers who sit closer to the steering wheel, as well as children in the front passenger seat are at an increased risk for serious air bag injuries. Since 1990, hundreds of fatalities have occurred as the result of air bags inflating during auto accidents. In addition to these tragic deaths, serious physical injuries have occurred as well, including facial injuries, blindness, eye injuries, and bone fractures.

Seat Belt Injuries and Deaths

In the United States seat belt use is strongly promoted, although this safety measure may not be as effective as the public thinks it is at keeping automobile drivers and passengers safe. Due to manufacturers using cheap or defective materials in the construction of the seat belts, many people are at risk for serious bodily injuries if an accident occurs. For example, seatbelts known as Gen3, which are installed in a variety of Chrysler vehicles, have been known to unlatch, resulting in at least 26 deaths.
