How Do Car Accident Settlements Work?

After being injured in a car accident, you probably have a thousand things running through your mind.

You are probably wondering what the next step is, how injured you are, if anyone else is injured, if your car can be fixed, who was at fault, and how much money the accident is going to cost.

There is a lot to worry about after a car accident, and you are justified to be thinking about all of the items above - and more.

However, once you learn you weren't at fault for the accident, your focus should shift slightly.

Now, you need to worry about receiving the best accident settlement you can.

Your car accident settlement will cover the cost of your medical bills, replacing or repairing your car, and many more damages.

How Do You Treat An Airbag Injury?


Airbags are made to protect you in a car accident, and they do this very well.

However, the force with which the airbags deploy can injure you instead.

Even though other injuries from a car accident can cause chest pain, it is often a sign that the airbag has impacted your body.

This could be nothing but could also be a sign of a severe injury.

It is best to visit a car accident doctor to rule out anything life-threatening and start treating your injuries.

Aside from chest injuries, there are a few other types of injuries that can be caused by airbag deployment.

In the article below, we'll talk about the different kinds of injuries caused by airbags and how to treat them.

 5 Key Takaways

  1. Airbag Deployment Can Cause Injuries: While airbags are designed to protect in a car accident, the force with which they deploy can lead to injuries. Chest pain after an accident could be a sign of airbag impact.

  2. Understanding How Airbags Work: Airbags are made of light fabric stored in various parts of the car. They deploy when a crash sensor detects a significant impact. The inflation and deflation process happens very quickly.

  3. Safety Precautions: To minimize the risk of airbag-related injuries, it's important to maintain the correct distance from the steering wheel (recommended at 10 inches), wear seatbelts correctly, and ensure that children are properly restrained in the car.

  4. Types of Chest Injuries: Airbag deployment can lead to chest injuries, ranging from contusions (bruising) to more severe conditions like broken ribs, collapsed lung (pneumothorax), or damage to internal organs.

  5. Other Potential Injuries: Airbags can also cause injuries to the face, neck, back, and result in burns, both physical and chemical. Internal injuries can occur due to the chemicals released during airbag deployment.
