Crashworthiness and Rollover Cases
Fort Worth Car Accident Attorney
Every year thousands of vehicle fatalities occur and thousands more are injured as the result of serious accidents according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Motor vehicles should be designed to be safe in foreseeable accidents.
Crashworthiness is the term used by those in the automobile industry to illustrate the ability of a manufactured vehicle to endure an accident and prevent injury or death to the driver and passengers of the vehicle. The degree to which a vehicle is safe varies according to the make and model, however this element of “safety” is essentially the most important aspect of any vehicle. Vehicles can always be made to be safer but they may not always be crashworthy. Certain defects of a vehicle can reduce crashworthiness such as defective airbags and seatbelts, defective crumple zones and defective head rests. The Federal government sets minimal standards for automobile defects however it is the manufacturers’ responsibility to maintain these standards. If the manufacturers fail to meet these standards they may be held liable for injury or damage.
