> You expect airbags to keep you safe when you have a car crash. When they don’t, a Boise airbag defect lawyer can help you hold the manufacturer accountable.
In a car accident , you hope your airbags will deploy and save you from severe injury or death, but sometimes these airbags cause more problems than they prevent.
If you have been injured in a car accident due to faulty safety devices, you might benefit from the services of a Boise airbag injury lawyer from Craig Swapp & Associates. We can thoroughly investigate your crash and your vehicle, interview witnesses, and gather all available evidence to build your claim for compensation.
Injuries from Deployed Airbags
An airbag can fail in several scenarios, or it can work but still cause serious injuries. Some injuries from properly deploying airbags are caused by the chemicals used to coat the airbags; these may cause burns and abrasions due to friction and heat.
The airbag can also slam into your face with incredible speed and force, which can also seriously damage your eyes, nose, and teeth.
Defective Sensors and Takata Shrapnel
Some of the worst injuries from airbags are due to a defective sensor causing the devices to deploy too early, too late, or not at all. All of these scenarios are bad, but many airbags are deploying with too much force, sometimes shooting out fragments of metal and other materials.
A notable case that has been evolving for years involves airbag manufacturer Takata . This company’s defective airbags have led to many lawsuits that ultimately bankrupted the company.
Who to Name in Your Claim
Many other airbag-related deaths and injuries are not tied to the Takata problem. These are just as damaging to victims, and the victims deserve compensation.
But your expenses will be enormous, and insurance companies will pay as little as they can. A Boise airbag defect lawyer can help you get the maximum compensation possible.
We’ll do this by filing claims against all of the companies involved in designing, manufacturing, distributing, and maintaining the faulty airbag and the car it was in. The more entities that are potentially at fault, the more your case will be worth.
Common Compensation
You deserve to hold the companies involved in the design, manufacturing, and testing of these safety devices accountable for the damages they have caused you.
If a defective airbag has injured you, you might be able to seek compensation for any of the following damages:
- Medical expenses, including current bills and anticipated costs
- Lost income, including estimated future wages if you’re rendered unable to work
- Disability-related accommodations to your home and vehicles
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of consortium and companionship
- Wrongful death of a loved one

Client Reviews
“I was concerned with all the paperwork”
Before calling your firm I had 2 big worries. One was I didn’t want to do more paper work, and that fear was resolved when I had to do very little, but Craig Swapp and Assoc. did most of it, and when I did have to come in to sign papers they worked around the times I could do it. Worry 2 was I didn’t want people to think I was “sue happy” and that I was just out to get money. I just wanted my bills to be paid for that were from the accident, and that was resolved I think by Mr. Wes Mortenson and Theresa because they listened to what I had to say.

"I would hire them in a second"
My biggest fear was not having all the expenses caused by the accident paid for in full. I was assured they would be taken care of but I admit I was skeptical. When we wrapped everything up (which happened quicker than I was originally told) I had extra money in my pocket. I honestly thought there was a catch but my attorney explained everything to me in detail. If I am ever in that position again I’ll be giving Craig Swapp a call.

"I was afraid of the fees"
I was afraid of the fees I would have to pay a lawyer. I waited over a year before hiring your law firm. I finally reached out to your online help where they were able to help me understand the process and what would happen. In all honesty I absolutely loved working with the individuals that were involved in my case. They were genuine & heartfelt about my case. It felt as though they really cared and were concerned about me, not just as a client but as a person.

"I was afraid that my issue was too small"
I was afraid that my issue was too small to be handled, and that it would just be rejected. Or that I’d end up having to pay for my medical expenses and any of your teams expenses. I would definitely answer yes, it was resolved! I wasn’t ever made out to feel like my little issue didn’t matter, and my expenses were paid for- just what I wanted/needed.

"I am very pleased with the results"
My biggest fear was that it would be pointless to pursue legal action in my case. I felt like maybe I didn’t have much of a case. After speaking with Paul, I realize it was not of my own fault and that others can be held responsible for the pain and suffering I went through.
