Crashworthiness is a term that describes a vehicle's ability to protect its occupants during a crash. All vehicles should be tested for crashworthiness before entering the marketplace. If a person is injured in a car accident due to the vehicle's lack of crashworthiness, the injured party may have a claim against the vehicle's manufacturer.

Crashworthiness and Car Accidents
A car accident can leave victims with severe and life threatening injuries. In handling a car accident lawsuit, an attorney may look at not only who was responsible for the accident, but the crashworthiness of the vehicle.
Crashworthiness encompasses everything about the vehicle's ability to protect the driver and passengers in a crash, including:
- Seatbelts
- Airbags
- Roof stability
- Center of gravity
- Strength of windshield and windows
- Tire stability
