CALIFORNIA DEFECTIVE SEAT BELT INJURY LAWYERS
Like many states in this country, California has a mandatory seat belt law that requires all operators of a motor vehicle and all vehicle passengers over the age of 16 to wear a seat belt. Seat belts are designed to save lives and prevent injuries. Unfortunately, many people are injured and even killed each year because their seat belt was defective and did not function the way that it was supposed to.
Seat belts can fail to work properly for a variety of reasons. Most commonly, seat belts fail because the latch is defective and appears to be locked in place when it is not. In order to be effective, the latch must be very secure and able to withstand a tremendous amount of force during a collision.
If the latch does not remain locked and you end up involved in an accident, you could be projected forward and end up seriously hurt. In addition to a faulty latch, seat belts may fail because the belt material is weak, is unable to withstand the shock of impact, and tears. This would provide no protection in the event of a collision.
If the seat belt retractor does not function properly and allows the person to fly forward rather than restraining them, serious injuries could result. Call our California Defective Seat Belt Injury Lawyers today for a FREE case review!
