Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

Your question raises a number of issues:

1) Did you receive compensation for personal injury from any auto insurance policy? If so, there are issue of whether you were fully compensated or whether you reserved your rights to go after anyone responsible for the airbag issue.

2) Are you within the California statute of limitations?

3) Airbags are not designed to go off in all collisions. Whether it improperly failed to go off is a complex fact issue that will require examination of the incident vehicle by experts.

4) You will need medical testimony that if the bag should have gone off, its failure to do so was a substantial cause of your injury.

5) Is there an airbag in your car where it is supposed to be? Sometimes, a car is repaired by a shop that cuts corners by not replacing a previously deployed airbag.

By all means take advantage of a free consultation with a local personal injury attorney. But for general educational purposes, airbag cases are not easy cases.
