At Herrman & Herrman Personal Injury Lawyers, we’ve seen firsthand how defective safety features—especially airbags—can turn a minor accident into a life-altering event. Airbags are supposed to protect you in a crash, but what happens when they fail? If you’ve been injured due to faulty airbags, we’re here to fight for you.
Why Functional Airbags Are Non-Negotiable
Airbags Save Lives—When They Work
Airbags are designed to deploy within milliseconds of a crash, cushioning your head and torso to reduce impact. A properly functioning airbag can mean the difference between walking away from an accident and suffering catastrophic injuries.
But what if your airbags don’t deploy? Or worse, what if they explode and cause injuries instead of preventing them? Defective airbags have led to thousands of injuries and fatalities, making regular airbag checks a must.
The Takata Airbag Recall: A Deadly Warning
Millions of vehicles were recalled due to defective Takata airbags that could explode upon deployment, sending metal shrapnel into drivers and passengers. Even now, many vehicles still have these dangerous airbags installed. If you haven’t checked your airbag recall status, do it today. And if you or a loved one has been harmed by a defective airbag, you may have a legal claim.
How to Check If Your Airbags Work
- Dashboard Airbag Indicator Light
- When you start your car, the airbag light should briefly illuminate and then turn off. If it stays on, flashes, or never comes on at all, your airbag system could be malfunctioning. Don’t ignore this warning—get it inspected immediately.
- Manual Electrical Testing
- Older vehicles may lack dashboard warning systems. If you drive an older model, have a professional technician conduct a manual test to ensure your airbags are operational.
- Post-Crash Inspection
- If you’ve been in an accident and your airbags deployed, they must be replaced correctly. Only original manufacturer parts and proper installation can guarantee they’ll work in another crash.
What If a Defective Airbag Has Harmed You?
Despite taking every precaution, you can’t always control what happens in an accident—especially if your safety features fail. If a faulty airbag caused or worsened your injuries, you may be entitled to compensation. Manufacturers and negligent mechanics must be held accountable for putting lives at risk.

CONTACT HERRMAN & HERRMAN IF YOU HAVE BEEN INJURED IN ANY OF THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF ACCIDENTS:
We can help you if you have been harmed by the following:
- Car accidents – Our lawyers have extensive experience handling car accident cases. We will work to identify the party or parties at fault for the crash and build a case to demonstrate persuasively how the parties caused the accident and your injuries. We will seek fair and full compensation through a negotiated settlement or at trial if necessary.
- Truck accidents – Thousands of large commercial trucks travel the roads of Texas every single day. Unfortunately, careless truck drivers and trucking companies disregarding safety put innocent people at risk of serious injuries. If you’ve been injured in a truck accident, let our experienced Texas personal injury lawyers stand up to the trucking companies and insurers on your behalf.
- Motorcycle accidents – Motorcycle riders often suffer grievous injuries in crashes caused by other motorists. Too many motorcycle accidents in Corpus Christi are caused by careless drivers who don’t look for motorcycle riders or violate their right of way. Our personal injury lawyers will work to cut through the bias and stigma against motorcycle riders. Our goal is to seek the financial compensation that you’ll need to recover from a serious motorcycle accident and injuries such as bone fractures, road rash, or traumatic brain injury.
- Product liability – Product manufacturers have a legal obligation to make products that are safe for their intended uses and to warn consumers of any risks that may come with the product. When products have design or manufacturing defects or undisclosed dangers, the product manufacturer may be legally responsible for injuries suffered by consumers. Our attorneys can help you evaluate whether you have a valid product liability claim.
- Brain injury – Brain injuries can leave accident victims with disabilities that leave them unable to work or perform many tasks of daily living. Seeking compensation for a brain injury in an accident often proves incredibly complex. The brain injury survivor may seek compensation for anticipated future medical care and the medical care already provided. Our personal injury lawyers can help you through the difficult recovery process following a brain injury and will fight to make sure you have the resources you need.
- Spinal injury – Spinal cord injuries could cost millions of dollars of care over the course of the victim’s lifetime, especially when those injuries result in partial or complete paralysis, such as paraplegia or quadriplegia. If you or your loved one has suffered a spinal cord injury, you deserve compassionate legal representation. Our attorney can help you determine whether you may be entitled to claim compensation for your injury and expenses related to living with the disability, such as making a home more accessible.
- Wrongful death – If you have lost a loved one due to the negligent or reckless actions of another party, your family deserves to seek accountability and compensation from those at fault for the wrongful death. Our caring and dedicated attorneys can help guide you and your family through this difficult and painful time and seek justice for your loved one.
