How Do I Know If a Defective Seatbelt or Airbag Caused My Injury?
Many people who have been hurt in an auto accident have no idea that an airbag or seatbelt was the actual cause of their injury. When you are in a car accident, seatbelts and airbags are designed to protect you — not cause you harm.
Unfortunately, there are many ways that seatbelts and airbags can cause injury. Seatbelts can come undone at a critical moment instead of holding tight. Airbags can deploy early, deploy unnecessarily at slow speeds, or fail to deploy when they are really needed.
Often, the surviving families of people killed in car accidents may come to suspect a defective seatbelt when they are told their loved one was not wearing a seatbelt. If you know that your loved one always wore their seatbelt, call an attorney who investigates thoroughly as soon as possible — before critical evidence is lost or destroyed.
