People trust that a vehicle’s safety systems will work when they are needed most. Airbags are not optional features or conveniences. They are designed to deploy within fractions of a second during a crash to help reduce the risk of serious injury. When an airbag deploys too late, that protection may be diminished at a crucial moment between serious injury and life-or-death.

Side-impact collisions can be particularly dangerous because there is often less space between occupants and the point of impact than in a front-end crash. A delay in the side airbag deployment can leave drivers and passengers more vulnerable to head, neck, chest, and other serious injuries. In situations where every fraction of a second matters, safety systems must perform as intended.

When a product intended to protect vehicle occupants fails to do so, those affected deserve answers.
