Airbag Failure

Serving Clients Nationwide From Our Texas Offices in Corpus Christi, San Antonio, Austin, and Dallas

The last thing a driver should expect is an airbag to cause an injury rather than prevent one. Injuries caused by airbags can occur due to an airbag that didn’t deploy completely or deploy at all, deploy improperly, or deploy unexpectedly or without reason. Unfortunately, an airbag defect is usually only detected after an auto accident. If you have been injured by a defective, faulty, or recalled airbag, contact the Airbag injury attorneys at Thomas J. Henry Law for a free legal consultation today. Our Airbag defect lawyers have the experience to handle your lawsuit.

Defective Airbags Can Cause Severe Injuries

Airbags have been attributed to saving thousands of lives since being introduced to motor vehicles in the 1970s and mandated in every vehicle starting in 1998. The effectiveness of airbags caused vehicle manufacturers to implement curtain airbags, center airbags, knee airbags, and rear passenger seat airbags. However, like pharmaceutical drugs, the devices that are meant to protect you from harm oftentimes do the opposite.

Airbag malfunctions can be caused by:

Design defect
Faulty wiring
Loss of power prior to the collision
Manufacturing flaw
Sensor failure

Your Questions Answered

We have straight answers to difficult questions
to help you make critical decisions, navigate
legal process and help you get justice.

Following an accident, there are always more questions
than answers. At Thomas J. Henry, we’re here to answer
any questions you have about your injury case.

A tort is a civil wrongful act committed by a person or company that results in harm to another person. A mass tort is when multiple victims are injured by the same single tort.

A court will consider if a mass tort lawsuit is permissible by determining:

whether a large number of plaintiffs are involved
whether the plaintiffs are located near or far from each other;
whether the injuries sustained are similar among the plaintiffs;
whether the claims arose from the same cause (defective toy, car part, oil spill, etc.)

Defective products, such as car parts, toys, or other consumer goods.
Pharmaceutical drugs, such as those that are later linked to severe or fatal health consequences
Environmental hazards, such as polluted water sources contaminated by nearby industrial sites or an oil leak.

Thousands of lawsuits across the country may be filed with a mass tort. These lawsuits are filed in numerous federal district courts. In a mass tort, federal judges will consolidate the thousands of lawsuits into a single proceeding. One judge in a single federal district court will oversee litigation, allowing for consistent rulings and a more expeditious process for the plaintiffs.

In a mass tort, each plaintiff (injured person) has an individual claim resulting from their unique damages. In a class action, many plaintiffs are considered collectively. Similarly, in a mass tort, each individual's claim "value" is unique to the severity of their injuries. In a class action, plaintiffs generally suffer injuries of similar severity, resulting in the same amount of compensation value.

If you have been injured or suffered illness due to a recalled drug, having an expert witnesses can be essential to proving your claim. Thomas J. Henry has spent decades building professional relationships with leading experts including:
