The issue in this opinion is whether defense counsel can question plaintiff about whether or not the airbags deployed in his vehicle at the time of the accident in the context of an automobile negligence case. The questioning by defense counsel is a common line of inquiry in automobile negligence cases and is often the subject of in limine motions and/or objections at the time of trial. The court ultimately determined the question was improper. The court determined that whether or not the airbags deployed is not relevant in the absence of expert testimony because it does not, without more information, tend to prove or disprove an issue in the case. In the absence of expert testimony, the jury would not know the amount of force needed to trigger the specific airbag contained in the subject vehicle. Moreover, without an expert providing an explanation as to how an airbag system functions, a jury would not know the location of the airbag sensors on the subject vehicle. Accordingly, a jury would not be able to understand why an airbag system did, or did not activate, in a particular accident.
