While airbag technology has progressed in recent years and airbags are felt to be an integral component of automobile accident safety, that doesn’t mean that they are flawless. Airbags, both in accidents and due to faulty deployment, can cause serious injury and even death. Lawyers such as Orlando, Florida’s Law Offices of Michael Barszcz, M.D. J.D., can make sense of airbag accidents and protect you from further harm.
