Neck Pain

The forces involved in a car accident are tremendous. However, when someone is involved in a car accident, they do not always immediately realize the full extent of their injuries.

The unfortunate truth is that airbags can only be a benefit to the occupants of a vehicle if they deploy – and if they do so in a timely manner. Airbags can fail to deploy for a variety of reasons. Most commonly, there’s a manufacturer defect to blame.…
