Car Seat Back Failure Lawsuit

The expectation is not unreasonable for an individual to occupy a vehicle, and having an ability to do this without a seat back failure, which can result in an accident or a sustained injury.

This expectation for many individuals is unfulfilled due to regulations that are outdated, and an automotive industry which refuses to implement innovative technologies, which would prevent a failure of seat backs, however.

Not only can a failure of seat backs cause harm, but increase severity of sustained injuries. However, defective seats can be the result of preventable accidents, which place the occupants of other vehicles in some danger as well. This can all result in car seat back failure lawsuit.

Stable Seat Backs to Protect Occupants

The fact has been proven that any combination of airbags and usage of seat belts can save lives, and minimize the severity of injuries. When there is a failure in seat backs, however, an occupant is placed out of position to be able to receive benefits from any safety devices.

Seat backs with defects can endanger further the lives of people by shifting them into certain positions which can cause them to impact surfaces, or to be tossed from the vehicle.

Other complexities which can arise from failures in seat backs include the following, such as:

You may be driving and suddenly need to achieve this while lying down. Failures in seat backs have caused this same scenario to manifest, which can cause accidents that could have been preventable otherwise.

Failure in seat backs can injure other individuals within the vehicle, namely those in the backseat. These types of failures can result in critical or fatal injuries to young children in car seats, which are hit by the seat back.

In this circumstance of an accident, if there is failure in a seat back, passengers may become entrapped; this can contribute to subsequent injury if a victim is not able to escape or be removed during a car fire to safety, or in any event that the vehicle becomes submerged in water.

During any event of an accident, if there is failure in a seat back, it can result in a car seat back failure lawsuit.

Automakers have been knowledgeable of the impact of failures in seat backs for more than three decades now; advances toward any type of solution have not been quick enough.

Despite administering studies that have revealed evidence that is indisputable, there is a correlation between failures in seat backs, and an increase in severity of injury. Automakers have refused on a number of occasions to upgrade these seats.

Auto product liability attorneys feel that the automotive industry needs to be held liable legally for any failure to put the safety of customers above their profits.

Any individual who experiences undue damage due to negligence can be entitled to financial compensation for suffering and pain, time off work, and healthcare bills.
