Defective Seat Belts

In a vehicle accident, drivers expect to be protected by a number of safety features. Protective glass, seat belts, air bags and seat backs all work together to minimize an occupant’s exposure to significant injury. When these features are defective, catastrophic or fatal injuries can occur.

If you or a loved one was injured in a car accident due to seat back failure, we encourage you to schedule a free consultation with an attorney at Cook, Hall & Lampros, LLP.   Many types of accidents most frequently rear-end collisions, force a seat occupant’s body against the seat back. This extreme force can cause the seat back to break backwards. When this happens, the occupant might be thrown in to the back seat, or ejected from the car. This seat back failure can result in severe injuries that might require extensive surgery or lengthy physical therapy.

As soon as we accept your case, we will partner with engineers and industry professionals to gain a clear understanding about every facet of your accident. We will strive to determine whether your seat back failure was due to defective materials, faulty installation or poor design. Whatever the case may be, we will negotiate with the liable parties on your behalf to ensure you receive the full and fair compensation possible. Contact our firm today.
