    My family ans I recently survived a serious side impact accident that was NOT our fault. The side airbags prevented death or a serious injury. I\’ll take the minor pain of the seat belts and airbags deployment anyday over the alternative.

    I still remember Joan Claybrook singing the praises of friendly these little balloons that would emerge from our dashboards and caress our faces or alternatively rip our heads off. The ambulance chasers had a great time suing manufacturers who provided an airbag that blew somebody\’s head off their shoulders and then turned around and sued manufacturers who did not provide an airbag to drivers who couldn\’t be bothered to fasten their seat belts and splatted their faces on the steering wheel, dashboard, and windshield. Now I\’m sure these same ambulance chasers will sue for hearing loss when the balloon explodes.

    What did you say? Sorry, I can\’t hear you. My airbag deafened me and I\’m looking for an attorney.

    Recently I was in a minor fender-bender, which set of my airbags. Due to the noise, my tinitus is significantly worse. The airbags were not needed. The windshield was blown out, and the cost to replace the bags is $2,700. My hearing injury may be permanent.
