Seat Belt Failures

You Can Depend on O'Reilly Collins

Thanks to research and efforts to raise public awareness, more Americans are using their seat belts than ever before. In fact, the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration estimates that at least 75 percent of all drivers and passengers are buckling up before they drive.

And because seat belt use has been proven to save lives, reduce the risk of serious injury and save on public health care costs — many of us now live in states that have made seat belt use mandatory.

However, seat belt failure eliminates all of those benefits. Unfortunately, seat belt defects and design flaws continue to be a real problem in the automotive industry, and a deadly problem for too many Americans each year.
