Note: Defective Seat Belt cases fall under the general category of Product Liability Law in Pennsylvania.
Few if any safety products have saved as many lives as automotive seatbelts. Please know we advocate seat belts as they save far more lives and lessen far more injuries than they cause.  But when they fail to work properly, and they do in fact fail at a surprisingly high rate, lives can be unnecessarily lost or changed forever.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), thousands of innocent people suffer severe injuries or lose their lives every year due to a defective or malfunctioning seat belt. Statistics show approximately three million people are injured annually because of seat belt failure.
Defective seatbelts can have devastating consequences for those involved in almost all vehicle accidents.
Pennsylvania product liability law provides for the ability to hold designers, manufacturers, and sellers accountable for injuries caused by defective seatbelts.
We can help.

Defining Defective Seatbelts Under Pennsylvania Product Liability Law
Defects in seatbelts can take various forms, including design defects, manufacturing defects, and failure to provide adequate warnings or instructions for proper use.
Design defects are flaws in the seatbelt’s design that make it unreasonably dangerous, even when manufactured properly.
Manufacturing defects occur during the production process, leading to individual seatbelts that do not meet the intended design specifications.
