Seat Belt Defects

Appleton Airbag Defects Lawyers

Seat belts, invented to hold the occupants of a car in place in the event of a collision, have saved many lives over the years. The buckle mechanism is an especially important part of a functional seat belt and if it is manufactured with defects, the seat belt is practically useless in protecting the passenger of the car. If your seat belt is unable to hold you in place during a collision, your body will be free to be thrown around the vehicle, leading to serious and severe injuries. Poorly designed and defective seat belts cause thousands of people to be hospitalized for injuries each year. The injuries associated with defective seat belts range from minor cuts to broken bones, spinal damage, brain damage, and even death.

Seat belt defects include:

• Unlatching of seat belts mid collision leave the passenger unrestrained
• False latching seat belts appear locked but are ineffective in restraining passengers in accidents
• Lap belt only seat belts fail to properly restrain passengers in accidents
• Shoulder belt only seat belts can strangle passengers during accidents
