Seat Belt Injuries
It is always advisable to wear your seat belt while driving or riding in an automobile. However, many people have been injured in accidents because of defective or malfunctioning seat belts.
Seat belt accidents can occur due to:
- Lap-belt-only design
- Malfunctioning latch
- Faulty retractor, leaving slack in the seat belt
- Non-engaging shoulder harness
When a seat belt is not securely holding the driver or passenger in place, the impact of the accident can send the person through a window or crashing into part of the interior of the car.
Regardless of the cause of your accident, it is important to have an experienced personal injury lawyer standing up for your rights.
