Man getting out of car and holding neck in pain after a car accident. An airbag is something you expect to rely on without thinking about it. So when it fails during a car crash, the moment becomes even harder to process. What went wrong, and do you have any recourse?

These kinds of questions have led people to Troxler & Troxler Law Firm in Waldorf, Maryland, where Patrick D. Troxler and Teneshia M. Troxler offer guidance. Patrick has lifelong roots in the community, and his years of legal work are complemented by his service in the United States Air Force Reserve.

To make sense of your situation, it is important to look at how these cases are handled and what evidence plays a role.

When Airbag Failure May Lead to a Claim

Airbags are meant to cushion the impact and reduce the chance of serious injury. When they do not deploy, the results can be far more severe than expected. 

Many people assume there is nothing they can do, but airbag failure sometimes points to a defect in the product, a manufacturing issue, or a problem with how a vehicle was repaired. These situations may open the door to a legal claim, especially when the failure directly contributes to your injuries.

Who May Be Liable for a Failed Airbag

Responsibility is not always simple. An auto manufacturer, a parts supplier, or even a repair shop may be involved. The right answer depends on what caused the failure. Sorting through these details takes investigation, and that is work your attorney handles. The goal is to identify the source of the problem so you can see what your options are.

Why Evidence and Documentation Matter

Photos of the damage, records of past repairs, and your medical documentation all help show what happened and how the failure affected you. Quick action makes it easier to preserve this information. Teneshia and Patrick will support you through this process so nothing important gets overlooked.
