Airbag, as considered by many, is their last line of defense against serious injury in a car accident. With the proper airbags installed and working, people feel at ease riding their cars, and could make them feel a little immortal. These describe the import of airbags to people, as their sort of defensive protection, supplementing seat belt.
However, just recently, the airbag failure issues has been on the open line once again, as ever, where a certain Brooke Katz and her unborn child was killed in a car accident in Atlanta due to airbag failure.
The car involved in the fatal crash was a Chrysler car, which has been controversial lately in their airbag provisions. The controversy have grown when a testimony from a Chrysler employee reveals that some of the crashes involving Chrysler cars occurred in cars whose air bags were recalibrated by the company to not deploy at all. This revelation came in court papers presented in the lawsuit against Chrysler brought by Brooke Katz husband.
This case, along with so many others fatal front-impact car accidents after airbags failed to deploy, has long been an issue in our jurisdiction and as can be anticipated, would still continue to rise.
As can be gleaned then from these accidents, all evidence seems to point to yet another instance of auto manufacturers wanting of measures to deal with the airbags late deployment problem, totally compromising the lives of their patrons.
As I can relate with these, especially to those who may have suffered an air bag-induced injury, that they have the right to go against the auto manufacturer who failed to keep safe their airbag in good conditions. In these aspects, there is a great chance for those injured to recover financial compensation for their pain and suffering, medical bills, rehabilitation, lost wages or income, and property damage against the erring manufacturer.
