Seat Back Defects

Seat Back Defects Attorney

Have you been injured in a motor vehicle accident because of defective car seat back? It is not an uncommon injury. In fact, this injury occurs more often than most motorists realize because of poorly constructed seat back and design malfunctions in their operating mechanisms. These defective car seat back occur because car manufacturers continue to ignore the warning signs and their engineers when constructing the seatbacks that they use in their vehicles.

The safety of seat back are brought into question in any motor vehicle accident but are especially brought into question during a rear end collision. The majority of cars on the road today have seating systems that directly cause injuries or exacerbate preexisting injuries. If a car is hit from behind, the vehicle is thrust forward as well as the passengers. But once the vehicle comes to a stop the passengers are then thrust backward into their seats. A properly constructed seatback should be able to stand tall and take the force from the body hitting it. Defective car seatbacks will collapse when a body hits it and cause injuries to the passenger. If the seatback stays upright during the collision then it will protect the occupant’s body from injury.
