TYPES OF SEAT BELT DEFECTS

Seat belts are supposed to be life-saving devices, but did you know that there have been more than 1,000 seat belt recalls since 1996? These recalls have been issued over a number of failures caused by errors during the design or manufacture of the product.

Types of seat belt defects include:

  • Inertial unlatching: The force of the accident is stronger than the seat belt latch, causing it to become unbuckled
  • False latching: The buckle appears to be latched when in reality it is not
  • Faulty retractors: The retractor fails to hold the belt snugly against the body, leaving too much slack
  • Webbing failure: The fabric of the belt becomes torn or ripped and fails to protect the user during a collision

Why File an Injury Claim for a Seat Belt Defect?

Now that you or a loved one has been hurt in an accident that was made worse by a seat belt defect, you should consider filing a personal injury claim against the party found to bear ultimate responsibility for the defect.
