Lyft Rental – Airbag Failed to Deploy

Why Are Airbags So Important in a Car Accident?

Airbags are in cars to help a person in an accident not get flung from the car, or bumped around like a rag doll during a serious accident. When a crash happens, the airbag will puff up to slow the driver and front passenger’s speed down, thus avoiding injuries to the people in the vehicles.

The airbag is made up of thin nylon fabric on the outer area of the bag, a sensor to tell the airbag to deploy and open, and sodium azide (NAN3) with potassium nitrate (KNO3). Th sodium azide and potassium nitrate reacts chemically, making the nitrogen gas explode. This explosion works to inflate the air bag system. While the airbag is inflated, it protects the front seat car passengers (or rear seat passengers with side air bags), from being injured in a crash. It only takes a few seconds for the airbags to pop open and then to go back down. They actually pop open at a speed of up to 200 mph!

If the Airbag Failed to Deploy Serious Personal Injuries Are the Result

In the event that a vehicle air bag fails to deploy, the result will be serious personal injuries for the driver and passenger. The people in a car without an airbag risk being seriously injured in a car crash from:

• Being thrown around in the car
• Hitting the roof of the car
• Hitting the windshield of the car
• Bumping into the doors
• Falling on the floor of the car
• Being jammed against the gear shift
• Breaking bones
• Breaking teeth
• Getting a concussion
• Getting a serious head injury
• Getting internal injuries
• Passing out
• Bleeding on the face, arms or legs

Airbag Malfunction – In Accident / Can I Sue the Rental Company – Lawyer

Lyft has available rental cars, and these vehicles are open for rental contracts to the general public. Lyft Rental cars are called “Express Drive” and they are available in most major cities for rentals. Lyft partner rentals are through Flexdrive and on other platforms. This means that individuals can rent a car with Lyft and use it to pick up passengers.

You may have rented a car from one of the following rental car companies, if you have rented from Uber with an Uber Rental Car. These companies include:

• Flexdrive
• Hertz

Therefore, if you have rented a car from one of these Lyft partners, and the car did not have operable airbags, then you need to give our law team a call at Normandie Law Firm. When an airbag does not deploy, that means a major security system in the car is not working. The Lyft Rental car company is responsible for determining that all of their vehicles are in good working order. If the Lyft Rental cars are not in safe working order, it is the responsibility of the Lyft Rental car managers, supervisors and owners to ensure the cars are all safe for the rentals going out as ready for customers and the Lyft drivers.
