Even though seat belts are required by law and are proven to save lives, in some cases, car accident seat belt injuries can be serious.
During impact or an abrupt stop in a car accident, a seat belt locks up to restrain a driver or passenger from being thrown out of their seat, but the restraint itself can be harmful. While some seat belt injuries are minor, serious seat belt injuries can require immediate medical treatment and a lengthy period of recovery.
When a seat belt has caused a serious injury to you or a loved one, you may be entitled to compensation when the injury was the fault of the other driver.
