Seat Belt Defects

Rhinelander Airbag Defects Lawyers

Seat belts were invented in order to prevent serious injuries in the event of an automobile collision. The locking mechanism placed within the buckle of the seat belt is vital for the seat belt system to work properly and hold you in place; however, it is this mechanism that often fails in defective seat belts and causes passengers serious injuries. Defective or poorly designed seat belts cause thousands of people to be injured each year. These injuries can range from minor cuts to serious injuries such as broken bones, brain damage, and even death.

Some 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

Manufacturers and auto dealers that fail to properly test seat belts before they are released onto the market should be held accountable for their negligence.
