If designed, installed and used properly, seat belts can save lives. This has to do with the mechanical forces produced during a car crash. However, if not designed, installed or used properly, seat belts can turn on you and cause serious injuries if you’re involved in a car accident.
What most drivers don’t know is that millions of motor vehicles on the road today have defective seat belt and restraint systems. Car manufacturers have been aware of these defects for decades, but have done nothing to warn the public or change the design of their seat belts to make them safer.
Some examples of defective seat belts issues that have prompted litigation are:
- Malfunctioning Retractor – Seat belts don’t lock during a collision
- Door Mounted Seat Belts –Mounted on the door instead of the automobile frame
- Inertial Unlatching or False Latching Seat Belts – Seat belts that unlatch during a collision
- Defective Automatic Shoulder Belts – Cause neck injuries and decapitation
- Lap Belts – Seat Belts with no shoulder harness
