Burned by Airbag Combustion Compensation Amounts

When your airbag deploys, it is possible for the speed of the deployment, or issues with the combustion, to leave you with noticeable burns. These burns can be relatively minor, but in some cases, they can leave you with permanent scarring and even long-term health conditions. A faulty airbag can deploy with too much pressure, or combust during deployment, which can easily lead to serious burns. The amount of compensation you will be able to claim for depends on the severity of the burns and any long-term health conditions.
