Failure to Open
Thousands of serious injuries and deaths occur
in America each year due to motor vehicle collisions
and accidents. Sadly, many of these injuries
and deaths are preventable and occur because the automobile
has defective parts.
One of the most fatal events that occurs during accidents
is the throwing or ejection of a passenger from the
car or truck. The distance that the passenger is thrown
and the impact often cause fatal injuries. Ejection
of the passenger can occur due to defective
door latches that do not properly remain closed
during a collision and allow the door to open and the
passenger to be thrown from the vehicle.
Defective seatbacks
can cause a driver to loose control of the vehicle.
They can also cause passengers to impact with objects
or additional passengers in the rear seat when the front
seatback caves in or fails. Even more serious is the
possibility of a defective seatback allowing the passenger
to be ejected from the car completely.
Defective seatbelts
can open spontaneously during a collision, failing to
properly restrain the passenger and contributing to
major injuries and death.
Airbags can fail to open, providing the passengers
with no protection from impact with the windshield or
other dangerous parts of the vehicle during a collision.
These and many more defective vehicle parts contribute
to thousands of injuries and deaths each year. Automobile
manufacturers have tried to cover up defects and failed
to recall automobiles with defective parts. Their responsibility
to produce safe vehicles is completely abandoned in
favor of profitability.
