Low speed impact-airbag deployment- serious injuri - 2007/02/20 16:46 15 year old seatbelted daughter was passenger in a 1995 Monte Carlo. Side front impact at low speed into tree. Airbag deploys at same time UNBELTED rear seat passenger hits back of passenger seat & throws my daughter into the deploying bag.

It knocks her out, gives her a concusion, ocular trauma, bruises & burns to her face & bruised hand from being thrown into windshield.

Now suffers from grand mal seizures due to the head injury.

Anybody have issues about low impact/ airbag deployment?
Anybody ever try to sue a car manufacturer for agressive airbag?

Re:Low speed impact-airbag deployment- serious inj - 2007/02/20 17:00 I'm sorry to hear about your daughter. I hope she is progressing nicely. My father-in-law was just in an accident where neither of his airbags went off. He was traveling around 50 mph and ran into another car. He spent over 2 weeks in intensive care and over 8 weeks in the hospital. He has lost some hearing along with sight in one of his eyes.

Have you had any luck suing the manufacturer?

I look forward to your response.

Thanks, Issacy

Re:Low speed impact-airbag deployment- serious inj - 2007/02/20 17:03 Sorry to hear about your daughter. I was involved in an auto accident myself where I was at fault; however, I was the only one injured in the accident. Due to the airbag deploying and my proximity to the steering wheel, I had lacerations, cuts, and minor bruising to the neck and face. I am thinking of suing the airbag manufacturer as well. I don't know if I would have a case since the car is a total loss and this happened almost three weeks ago. Does anyone have advise for me?

Next time buckle up your rear passenger. How can you be certain that it wasn't the rear passenger that caused your daughters unfortunate head injury. Air bags are suppose to go off...if your rear seat passenger had been buckled up than your daughter would be fine. Your neglect.

Be thankful you are alive and no one else is injured.
