Question:

I was in a friend’s vehicle when he got into a car accident- it was his fault. I was in the front seat and I was injured by the passenger side airbag. What is the average settlement for a airbag injury in a car accident, how much can I expect to recover?

Answer:

The average settlement for an airbag injury depends largely on your situation. First, the nature and extent of your injury plays a role. The more serious the injury, the more likely it is that you will be able to recover higher damages.

Damages for an airbag injury generally include medical bills and lost wages that result from the injury, as well as damages for any pain and suffering you endured. If the injury caused permanent disfigurement- such as a scar on your face- then you may be entitled to recover higher damages- sometimes to the tune of $10,000 or up.

Your best bet is to speak with an experienced car accident attorney to determine the extent of your damages and your possible recovery. You should do so before accepting any settlement offers from the insurance company, as once you settle, you generally will be unable to obtain any further compensation.
