Southern California Attorneys Holding Manufacturers Accountable for Defective Air Bags Causing Serious Injury or Death
Air bags should provide an extra level of protection for drivers and passengers of cars. That is not always the case. At Avila & Peros, LLP in El Segundo and Newport Beach, we represent clients throughout Southern California who suffered injuries because defective air bags failed to protect them.
Experience in Cases Involving Defective Air Bags
Whether your injuries were caused by a defective air bag that failed to deploy altogether or one that deployed with too much force, contact an experienced vehicle defect attorney at Avila & Peros, LLP. We have experience with a variety of automobile defect cases involving seat belt failures, a lack of electronic stability control and defective tires. We bring that experience to our clients who suffered serious injuries or witnessed a loved one being hurt by air bag defects.
Air Bags Deploying With Too Much Force
Air bags deploy with considerable force to protect those in the vehicle. But, how much force is too much? Motor vehicle purchasers are entitled to know that there is a possibility of injury if the air bag deploys, particularly to a small child. An on/off switch that controls the deployment of the air bag should be made available as well if there is a risk of that safety device hurting a small child.
The Need for Side Air Bags
Shortsighted auto manufacturers were not quick to add side air bags even though they knew that the majority of auto accidents are not head-on collisions. That lack of attention has injured and killed drivers and their family members. Automobile makers have an obligation to put a product in the marketplace that is of high quality and completely safe. When they fail and you are hurt or lose a loved one, we get to work in securing the maximum compensation possible for the losses you have suffered.
