If you or a loved one was injured because of a defective airbag, you may be entitled to compensation. Airbags are meant to save lives, not cause harm. Unfortunately, manufacturing defects, design flaws, and negligent recalls have injured thousands of drivers and passengers across the United States.
At Jordan Law, our experienced Airbag defect lawyer Anne Dieruf has over 15 years of experience litigating complex automotive defect cases. Anne has filed lawsuits against every major automaker in the country and knows how to hold large corporations accountable for dangerous products.

Common Types of Airbag Defects
Not all airbags are safe. Some of the most common defects leading to serious injuries include:
- Failure to Deploy: In a crash, the airbag does not activate, leaving occupants unprotected.
- Unexpected Deployment: Airbag inflates without a crash, causing accidents and injuries.
- Overly Aggressive Deployment: Airbag deploys with excessive force, leading to fractures or internal injuries.
- Shrapnel Injuries: Exploding inflators can send metal fragments into drivers and passengers (e.g., Takata airbag recalls).
- Electrical or Sensor Failures: Malfunctioning sensors can trigger deployment at the wrong time or prevent deployment altogether.
If you believe any of these issues caused your injuries, you should speak with an experienced airbag defect lawyer.

Injuries Caused by Defective Airbags
Airbag failures can result in devastating injuries, such as:
- Facial fractures and lacerations
- Eye injuries or blindness
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Neck and spinal injuries
- Broken ribs or sternum
- Internal bleeding or organ damage
- Wrongful death
- Airbag shrapnel injuries
Even low-speed collisions can have catastrophic results when an airbag malfunctions. If you’ve suffered any of these injuries, don’t wait to explore your legal options.
Who Can Be Held Liable?
Airbag defect cases typically 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
- Distributors or dealerships
At Jordan Law, our team investigates every aspect of your crash to identify all responsible parties and maximize your potential recovery.

- Get Medical Treatment Immediately – Your health comes first.
