In airbag cases, it also is important to evaluate whether the vehicle contained adequate warnings about airbag dangers and precautions to avoid injury.
For more than three decades, Langdon & Emison has represented people who have been seriously injured or lost loves ones in cases involving defective airbags. This is an example of an airbag case we successfully resolved involing the high-profile Takata airbag defects.
Case Example
Langdon & Emison represented a young man who lost the use of his right eye when a Takata airbag ruptured during a collision and shot metal shrapnel through the vehicle compartment. The legal team showed our client’s injuries were caused by a known defect that causes the airbag’s chemical propellant to ignite inside a metal inflator that then ruptures and sprays shrapnel throughout the vehicle. The legal team also successfully argued that Honda and Takata Corp. were under a duty to properly warn the public about the dangers posed by the exploding Takata airbag defect, which were known for decades.
When it matters, we'll be there.
