Airbags are designed to deploy rapidly in the event of a collision, cushioning the impact and potentially saving lives. When an airbag does not work as intended, car accident victims may suffer significant injuries and other losses. These consequences leave many victims wondering who may bear liability for their injuries. If your airbag fails to deploy because of a manufacturing defect, the manufacturer may be responsible for your damages.

Marsalisi, has a proven track record of successfully holding every liable party accountable for the harm they have caused. He understands the ins and outs of Florida law and can handle every detail of your case as you heal and recover.
Determining Liability in an Accident With Faulty Airbags
If you were in a severe accident and your airbag did not deploy, the manufacturer, designer, and/or marketer of the airbag may be held partially or fully accountable for your injuries and other losses. When you hire a skilled attorney, they will investigate every aspect of your claim to determine the cause of your accident and the best path forward to recover monetary compensation. The following are the three types of faulty airbag liability claims:
- Design defect: These defects occur before a product is manufactured. If a design is faulty, the designer may be held liable if there are safer design alternatives.
- Manufacturing defects: After a design is approved, the product moves to the manufacturing phase. Even if a design is safe, errors can occur in the manufacturing process, causing life-altering injuries.
- Marketing defect: In some cases, the flaw lies in how the product is presented to the public. If the seller falsely advertises the product or does not warn the public of hazards, the marketer may be responsible for your injuries and other losses.
Accidents involving faulty airbags often involve multiple liable parties, including the driver who hit you, the manufacturer, and the seller. Our attorney will work with you to determine the cause of your accident so they can hold every negligent party accountable for your losses.
