Seat belts, braking systems and air bags are most often the of various kinds of safety efforts for passenger vehicles, but the actual strength of seat backs and awful seat back failure injuries play an additional, critical role in preventing injuries after vehicle accidents. For at least 50 years, the automobile, SUV and light truck manufacturing and assembly industry has been apparently totally unaware that the strength of the seat backs in their vehicles is also a major component in determining the safety of their vehicles. If you have been the victim of a seat back which collapsed in a vehicle crash, call the San Antonio Defective Seat Back Lawyers at Carabin Shaw today. We will work with you to get you the best possible chance at your maximum recovery. We know these products. We know the defenses, tricks and road blocks which the various manufacturers will use to try and delay, diminish or deny your just and fair recovery. We are ready to deal with them on your behalf.

Weak, flimsy, seat backs tend to unfortunately collapse towards the rear after a car gets rear-ended. These collapses happen when you are moving as little as 25 mph. If there is a rear-end collision, an occupant of the seat may:

  • Be partially or fully thrown out of the vehicle
  • Get hurled into some other part of the vehicle like the rear compartment
  • Cause a multi-vehicle pileup by losing control of their vehicle
  • Cause injury to occupants of the rear of the vehicle, particularly children in their car seats
  • Suffer spinal cord injury and/or neck fracture because of extension of the neck and head to an excessive degree

If you or a family member suffered an injury in a car accident which increased in severity because the seat back did not hold up during said collision, please call our office. Our team of experienced Defective Seat Back Attorneys in San Antonio understands how these defective seat backs fail to work and how to protect your right to compensation accordingly.

Seatback Failure in Rear-End Collisions

The headrest and seat are basically the only effective safety protection in any rear-end type collision. Your headrest and seat protect you in rear-end collisions if and only if they maintain your position in your seat all through the collision and afterwards. Seats which are too weak tend to collapse after or while your car, SUV or light truck gets hit from the rear.

Other Kinds of Seat Failures

If you or a family member has been injured or, lord forbid, killed because of the failure of a seat back, you and/or your family may have a good, winnable product liability case which can entitle you to full and fair compensation for any losses and/or injuries. You do, however, have to act reasonably quickly to preserve both your claim and preserve the necessary evidence your attorney needs to properly investigate the manufacture and design of the seats and the vehicle after an accident. Making sure that the vehicle at issue is properly preserved is a very important portion of preparing any successful product liability claim and/or case. Carabin Shaw’s Defective Seat Back Attorneys in San Antonio can be just the help you need to get you the compensation you deserve. Let us help. Give us a call. All of our injury cases operate on a contingent fee basis. If we don’t get you a recovery, you don’t owe us a legal fee. It is that simple.
