New Braunfels Seat Belt Injury Lawyers
There is a reason that many states have strict seatbelt laws for drivers and their passengers – seatbelts can save lives or greatly reduce the severity of injuries that one sustains when they are not protected by a seatbelt. Unfortunately, even if you do your utmost to protect your safety by always wearing a seat belt, you may still suffer from traumatic injuries due to a defective seat belt.
An automaker has a duty to produce seatbelts that will perform the function for which they were made and not endanger the safety of the user. The failure to uphold this duty can result in devastating and unnecessary injuries. Contact the New Braunfels seat belt injury attorneys at the Burch Law Firm by calling 830-629-0955 today.
Common Injuries Resulting from Seat Belts
When a seat belt does not protect you as it is designed to, due to manufacturing, design, or other defects, you may suffer from a variety of injuries, such as:
- Broken or bruised ribs
- Head trauma
- Brain injury
- Upper body fractures
- Spinal cord injuries
Though it might seem as if a seat belt is a simple strap of fabric, the reality is that these restraints are the result of extensive research and are only part of a complex system. A flaw in any part of the passenger restraint system, whether the belt, the sensors, or otherwise can result in irreparable harm.
