What Should I Do If My Airbag Didn’t Deploy During a Car Accident?
If your airbag did not deploy during a car accident in Atlanta, there are several important steps you should take right away to protect both your health and your legal rights.
First, seek medical attention immediately, even if you feel fine. Injuries sustained in accidents where airbags fail to deploy can be more severe, and some symptoms may not appear right away. Second, do not have your vehicle repaired before it has been inspected by an expert. The vehicle itself is critical evidence in any potential claim, and repairs could destroy the proof needed to establish that the airbag system was defective.
You should also document everything — take photographs of the vehicle interior, the steering wheel, and the dashboard, and preserve any paperwork related to the vehicle’s service history. An experienced personal injury attorney can help you determine whether the non-deployment was due to a defect and whether you have grounds to pursue a claim against the manufacturer or another responsible party.
