FAQs: Filing a Claim for Injuries from a Defective Airbag Failure
What Cars Are Recalled for Faulty Airbags?
Nearly all major auto manufacturers have issued recalls due to faulty airbags. These recalls include “Do Not Drive” warnings in some cases. To find out if your vehicle has been recalled, you can search for your vehicle’s VIN on the NHTSA’s website.
Does Insurance Cover Airbag Malfunction?
Insurance covers airbag malfunctions in some cases. However, if you are facing the financial and non-financial costs of a serious airbag-related injury, you may also need to file a lawsuit against your vehicle’s manufacturer. A Florida airbag defect lawyer at our firm can determine what you need to do in order to seek just compensation, and then we can take appropriate legal action on your behalf.
Do Dealerships Fix Airbags for Free?
If you need to have a defective airbag replaced, your dealership should replace your airbag for free. Otherwise, however, you can expect to pay for any fixes to your vehicle’s airbags—unless your vehicle’s airbags are covered under an applicable warranty.
How Do I File a Claim for a Defective Airbag in Florida?
Filing a claim for a defective airbag starts with hiring an experienced lawyer to represent you. This is not something you want to try to do on your own. Your lawyer will be able to assert your legal rights effectively, calculate the total damages you are entitled to recover, and then negotiate for a fair settlement on your behalf.
