Is there a cost to file a BMW Airbag lawsuit?

Most attorneys handling BMW airbag lawsuits work on a contingency fee basis, meaning there are no upfront costs to file a claim. Attorneys receive a percentage of the settlement or verdict only if your case is successful.

Can I still file a lawsuit if my accident happened years ago?

Possibly, depending on your state's statute of limitations and when the defect was discovered. An experienced attorney can evaluate your specific situation and determine eligibility.

What makes Takata airbags dangerous?

Takata airbags use ammonium nitrate as a propellant, which can degrade over time, especially in hot, humid conditions. This degradation can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, resulting in metal fragments being projected through the airbag.
