How a Las Vegas Airbag Injury Lawyer Can Help
Many airbag injury cases require specialized legal representation due to challenges such as defective parts and products, powerful manufacturing corporations, and insurance company bad faith. The right Las Vegas personal injury attorney can navigate your individual claim to seek the best possible results while you focus on healing from your airbag-related injuries.
What Are Airbag Injuries?
Airbag injuries describe bodily injuries caused by an airbag deploying or failing to deploy. They can refer to injuries that occur when an airbag works correctly, from the force inflicted against a person or a reaction to the chemicals used to deploy the bag. They can also describe injuries from airbag failure, such as a defective bag exploding or failing to deploy. Common types of airbag injuries include:
- Trauma to the face and eyes
- Orbital fractures
- Chest and collarbone injuries
- Whiplash and other neck injuries
- Friction burns
- Chemical burns
- Bruising and abrasions
- Shrapnel injuries
- Bone fractures
- Respiratory problems
If a defective airbag is responsible for injuring or failing to protect a vehicle occupant, the manufacturer of the product may be held liable (legally responsible). A product liability claim could potentially be filed in Clark County to compensate the victim. If the airbag was not defective, any injuries caused by the airbag can be included in the victim’s car accident claim for compensation.
Compensation for Airbag Injuries in Las Vegas
A product liability claim brought against the manufacturer, distributor or retailer of a defective airbag could result in compensation for your losses as an airbag injury victim. You may be eligible for the following types:
- Present and future necessary medical care
- Lost wages, tips, commissions and employment benefits
- Lost capacity to earn in the future
- Disability, scarring or disfigurement
- Property damage
- Pain, suffering and emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
Under the rule of strict product liability, you may not need to provide evidence of manufacturer negligence to win a defective product case. However, you will need supporting evidence, such as a crash report, photographs and witness statements.
