Regulations require that all vehicles be equipped with seat belts capable of preventing injury during a collision. Unfortunately, many vehicles with defective seat belts are still sold to customers. Malfunctioning seat belts can cause automobile occupants to suffer severe injury during an accident.
If you are within your state's statute of limitations, you may be eligible to file a claim against the negligent party. However, seat belt failure cases can be difficult to prove.

Causes for Seat Belt Failure
There can be several causes for seat belt failure in a vehicle. Here are some common causes:
The Burden of Proof
In personal injury cases involving seat belt failure, the plaintiff bears the burden of proof, meaning they have the responsibility to establish certain elements of their claim. Evidence must be presented to prove that the manufacturer's negligence caused the seat belt or seat restraint system to malfunction. It has to be proven that the seat belt failure was the proximate cause of your injury. Finally, evidence has to be presented that you suffered losses as a result of the injury caused by the seat belt failure. In many seat belt failure cases, expert testimony is crucial to establish the standard of care, demonstrate the defect or negligence, and establish causation. Experts with relevant experience and qualifications can provide professional opinions to support the plaintiff's claims. The plaintiff should gather and present evidence such as accident reports, medical records, expert reports, witness testimonies, and any other relevant documentation to substantiate their case. At BBB Attorneys, we will work tirelessly to establish that your injuries and suffering are a direct result of negligence on the part of the seat belt manufacturer.
