Las Vegas Airbag Defect Lawyers

Since 1989, the federal government has mandated that all cars produced in the United States have airbags installed, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that airbags have saved over 12,000 lives as a result. However, few people recognize the danger that airbags can present, especially to children and other specific groups of people. Airbags are not the soft, pillowy objects one might expect them to be. They can exit their compartments at speeds in excess of 200 miles an hour, the force of which can easily hurt or even kill those near it. A defective airbag will only compound the risk, turning an already dangerous situation into a potentially deadly one.

Airbag Safety

There are a number of steps that can be taken to ensure the safest environment possible for you and your passengers, even in the presence of a defective airbag. Some of these steps include:

• All children under the age of 12 should ride in the rear seat, with a seatbelt
• Rear facing child seats should never be placed in the seat of a car with a side airbag
• Always wear seatbelts, regardless of the presence of an airbag
• Move your driver seat as far back as reasonably possible from the steering wheel
