Dangerous Air Bag Defects in GM Vehicles
As part of a wave of recent vehicle recalls due to various dangerous defects, auto manufacturer General Motors (GM) have announced the recall of thousands of 2013 and 2024 model year Chevrolet Cruze sedans. The Cruze models apparently had an incorrect part installed that prevents the air bags from properly inflating in the event of an accident. GM has also ordered car dealerships to halt all sales of these vehicles, the company's best-selling car, until the potential defect is repaired.
In the meantime, anyone who has been involved in an accident in a Chevrolet Cruze and suffered injuries because air bags failed to deploy is likely entitled to compensation for all related losses. The experienced lawyers at the Dolman Law Group Accident Injury Lawyers, PA, is assisting accident victims in recovering for their injuries.
How to Hold GM Liable for your Injuries
Victims who are involved in car accidents with failed air bags often suffer serious and sometimes life-changing injuries. When air bags fail, motorists may hit the steering wheel, windshield, side windows, and more with no protection. Additionally, air bags protect motorists from ejection through the windshield or out of a side window if a vehicle rolls overs. Some injuries that are common when air bags fail in collisions include:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Other head trauma
- Facial disfigurement and scarring
- Broken bones in the face
- Broken ribs and limbs
- Lacerations from broken glass
- Severe spinal damage or other injuries related to ejection from the vehicle
These injuries can cause accident victims to suffer significant economic and noneconomic losses. By filing a lawsuit, victims can recover compensation from GM for medical bills, lost income, permanent disfigurement or disabilities, emotional trauma, physical pain and suffering, and more.
