About Birth Injuries

What does the term “birth injury” mean? Birth injury refers to some type of physical injury, harm or damage that a baby suffers during the labor and delivery process (or earlier in pregnancy). Birth injuries are different from birth defects because a birth injury is not something that is genetic. A birth injury is something that happens to an otherwise healthy baby.

If an airbag recall led to injuries for you or someone close to you, there could be legal grounds to seek compensation from responsible parties.

When functioning as intended, airbags can be lifesavers, mitigating head injuries during vehicular accidents. However, if the inflator mechanism is flawed in its design, as we have in this case, it can inadvertently detonate, propelling fragments toward the driver or passenger’s head and neck. This can cause severe harm to vehicle occupants, including brain damage and death.

Should you or a loved one get injured because of a faulty recalled airbag, you might have a viable airbag lawsuit. The national mass tort lawyers at Miller & Zois are currently accepting airbag recall injury lawsuits. Contact us today at 800-553-8082 for a free consultation.
