Multi-Vehicle Accidents and Airbag Deployment Risks
Airbag deployment in crashes, such as this one on Route 125, is a strong indicator of the force of impact. While airbags are designed to reduce the risk of serious injuries, their deployment can still lead to injuries such as burns, fractures, and concussions, especially if occupants were not properly restrained.
According to the New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT), Route 125 is one of the state’s busiest corridors, with a high volume of local and through traffic. Multi-vehicle crashes in high-traffic areas often result from tailgating, sudden lane changes, or drivers failing to notice slowing vehicles ahead.
Victims of crashes involving airbag deployment should seek medical evaluation, even if injuries are not immediately apparent. Medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and vehicle repair expenses can quickly add up, making it important for those involved to understand their legal rights and options for seeking compensation.
