In the last thirty years, since airbags have become standard on cars sold in the United States, they have saved countless lives. Although airbag designers and manufacturers continue to develop airbag systems that are increasingly advanced with further enhanced capabilities, airbags still carry significant risks.
Unfortunately, over the years, many airbags have deployed incorrectly or inadvertently and have failed due to sensor and sequencing issues, causing the federal government and car manufacturers to regularly issue recalls. Take, for example, the Takata airbag recall, issued after it was linked to 27 deaths and nearly 400 injuries, according to the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration.
Anyone who has suffered from airbag injuries in Fort Lauderdale, either because of a defective airbag or because of airbag injuries in an accident caused by someone else’s negligence, is eligible to seek compensation. At Morgan & Morgan, we can help.

Understanding Defective Airbags
Airbags are supplemental safety features in all car models produced since 1998. Working in conjunction with seatbelts, they are designed to provide additional protection to vehicle occupants.
Airbags have three distinct parts: an airbag module, a diagnostic unit, and a crash sensor. When the airbag deploys correctly, it has historically been shown to save lives. However, airbags also pose risks and serious product liability concerns.
Some of the most common ways airbags have been deemed defective, causing injury, include:
- Deploying when they aren’t supposed to. An airbag may deploy unexpectedly, often due to a faulty crash sensor.
- A failure to deploy. An airbag may not deploy during a car accident. This is likely because of an electrical issue.
- Deploying with too much force. A functioning airbag deploys with great force, but sometimes, the force may be excessive because of faulty manufacturing.
- Not deploying with enough force. When an airbag deploys too slowly, typically due to improper installation, it can be just as dangerous as one that doesn’t deploy at all.
