If an attorney can prove that your employer deliberately placed you in a dangerous position through lack of training, disregard of safety regulations, or provided equipment that was unsafe due to design or lack of maintenance, you may have an additional personal injury claim which would be for the most part separate from the Worker's Comp. claim. Contact an experienced work injury attorney for a free consultation. There may be a suit against your employer or a third party such as an equipment manufacturer. Best regards, and good hopes for your future.

Airbag cases are difficult and expensive. Insurance companies will not settle easily, if at all. You will need to have an expert witness, accident reconstruction and a lawyer who is experienced in airbag cases.
