Injured by a Defective Airbag? Speak to An Airbag Defect Lawyer

July 8, 2025
Product Liability

If you or a loved one suffered injuries from a defective airbag, you may be entitled to compensation. For that to happen, an air bag defect lawyer is important to have on your side. Airbags should save lives — not cause harm. Yet design flaws, manufacturing defects, and negligent recalls have injured thousands of drivers and passengers across the United States.

At Jordan Law, attorney Anne Dieruf leads our airbag defect team. With over 15 years of experience in automotive product liability litigation, Anne has filed lawsuits against every major automaker in the country. She knows how to hold large corporations accountable for dangerous vehicles and components.

If a faulty airbag injured you, contact us today for a free consultation.


Common Airbag Defects That Cause Injuries

Not all airbags function safely. Some of the most common and dangerous defects include:

  • Failure to Deploy: The airbag doesn’t activate during a crash.

  • Unexpected Deployment: The airbag inflates without impact, causing accidents or injuries.

  • Overly Aggressive Deployment: The airbag deploys with too much force, causing fractures or internal injuries.

  • Shrapnel Injuries: Exploding inflators send metal fragments into the vehicle (as seen in Takata airbag recalls).

  • Electrical or Sensor Failures: Malfunctioning sensors trigger airbags at the wrong time — or not at all.

If any of these issues led to your injuries, speak with an experienced airbag defect lawyer immediately.

Common Injuries from Faulty Airbags

Defective airbags can cause devastating harm, including:

  • Facial fractures and deep cuts

  • Eye injuries or blindness

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)

  • Neck and spinal damage

  • Broken ribs or sternum

  • Internal bleeding or organ damage

  • Wrongful death

Even low-speed crashes can cause catastrophic results when an airbag fails or deploys improperly. Don’t wait to explore your legal options.


Who May Be Liable for a Defective Airbag?

Airbag defect cases fall under product liability law, which holds manufacturers and distributors responsible for unsafe products. Liable parties may include:

  • The vehicle manufacturer

  • The airbag manufacturer

  • Parts suppliers or distributors

  • Dealerships that sold defective vehicles

At Jordan Law, our legal team investigates every detail of your crash to identify all responsible parties and maximize your recovery.


Vehicles Linked to Airbag Recalls

Many automakers have recalled vehicles due to defective airbags, including:

Ford: Crown Victoria, Edge, F-150, and Mustang (model years 2004–2017)
Toyota: 4Runner, Corolla, Matrix, RAV4, Sienna, Sequoia, Tundra, and Yaris (model years 2003–2016)
Other Manufacturers: Tesla, BMW, General Motors, Volkswagen, Maserati, and Mercedes-Benz

If you own one of these vehicles, check for recalls immediately and contact our office if you’ve been injured.

What to Do After an Airbag Injury

If you believe a defective airbag caused your injuries:

  1. Get medical attention immediately. Your health comes first.

  2. Preserve the vehicle. Don’t repair or dispose of it; the airbag and crash data are key evidence.

  3. Gather documentation. Keep your medical records, crash report, and photos of the vehicle and your injuries.

  4. Contact a product liability lawyer quickly. These cases have strict deadlines and require specialized expertise.

Our Denver product liability attorneys offer free consultations and work on a contingency fee basis — you pay nothing unless we win.
