This is especially true if you are involved in a vehicular collision.
Because of this, it is tragic when an automotive defect creates an unsafe situation.
This is especially true for when seat belts prove to be defective.
If a seat belt is made with improper materials, if it is improperly installed, or if it is defectively designed, it is likely it will prove defective.
Some common forms of seat belt defects include the following:
- failing to stay latched in a collision or any other situation
- inappropriately giving slack or those that fail to release when necessary
- failing to restrain users when necessary
- failing to lock although they appear to be latched by the user
If you suffer from a seat belt defect it is possible you will experience the following:
- Neck injuries
- Head injury
- Concussion
- Broken or fractured bones
- Burns from the seat belt material
- Suffocation
- Death
These injuries can be costly to address, creating a financial and emotional burden on their victim and their loved ones.
Because of this it is imperative those responsible for auto defects are held accountable for their negligence.
