Car Seat Belt Failure

There's no question that seatbelts have saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of injury victims. However, seatbelt malfunctions or complete failures are far more frequent than you might think.

While vehicle manufactures may use inferior techniques in building many aspects of a car, there's simply no excuse to skimp on the materials or design of the seatbelt. In fact, most people would agree that the seatbelt should be made more precisely than virtually any other part of the vehicle. Unfortunately, that is often not the case.

Even worse, when seatbelts malfunction in a wreck, the resulting injuries can be more devastating than had the victim not been wearing a seatbelt at all! Juries across the country have listened to detailed explanations of how seatbelts have failed during accidents and victims have been awarded millions of dollars for the manufacturers' mistakes.
