Read on to learn more.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Common Airbag Injuries<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Studies show that while airbags provide exceptional protection against severe injuries when a serious crash occurs, there is also data showing these devices can be\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/emj.bmj.com\/content\/19\/6\/490\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">directly connected<\/a>\u00a0to injuries sustained.<\/p>\n<h3>Head and Neck Injuries<\/h3>\n<p>Some of the most common head and neck injuries reported as a result of airbag deployment include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Facial trauma<\/li>\n<li>Temporomandibular joint injury<\/li>\n<li>Decapitation<\/li>\n<li>Cervical spine fractures<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When glasses are worn, eye injuries tend to increase substantially. These injuries include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Orbital fractures<\/li>\n<li>Retinal detachment<\/li>\n<li>Lens rupture<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When airbag versus no airbag accidents are compared, patients with head injuries tend to sustain a higher rate of brain injuries than skull fractures. This suggests that airbags provide more significant protection to the skull\u2019s bony features than the brain tissue.<\/p>\n<h3>Torso Injuries<\/h3>\n<p>The chest and abdomen are vulnerable to airbag injuries, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rib fractures<\/li>\n<li>Bilateral pneumothorax<\/li>\n<li>Aortic transection<\/li>\n<li>Heart valve injury<\/li>\n<li>Cardiac rupture<\/li>\n<li>Overt abdominal injury<\/li>\n<li>Occult injuries<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Upper Limb Injuries<\/h3>\n<p>The shoulders and forearms are subject to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kalkalaw.com\/car-accidents\/airbag-failure-injuries\/\">airbag injuries<\/a> when a crash occurs. The clavicle is also commonly damaged as a result of airbag deployment. Fractures and dislocations are the most common types of injuries sustained to these areas of the body.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>We Can Help Injured Car Crash Victims<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019ve suffered injuries in a car accident through no fault of your own, you may be eligible for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kalkalaw.com\/results\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">compensation<\/a>.
