Is it true that Airbag deployment in car crashes causes nerve damage in vehicle occupants?
Unclear. Several peer-reviewed sources document that airbag deployment can cause injuries — facial and ocular trauma, and upper-extremity injuries such as fractures and burns — but none of the retrieved items specifically establishes nerve damage in occupants.
