Crashworthiness
Automotive crashworthiness refers to a vehicle’s ability to prevent occupant injuries in the event of an accident. Making a vehicle crashworthy requires safety features designed to minimize occupant injuries. The goal of crashworthiness has resulted in features such as air bags, seatbelts, side impact protection, interior padding, shatterproof windows, and collapsible steering columns.
There are two important questions when evaluating a vehicle’s crashworthiness:
- Could the vehicle’s occupants have fared better?
- Could some missing safety feature have reduced the severity of the occupants’ injuries?
When flawed or insufficient safety design leads to a serious personal injury, or even a wrongful death, you may be able to pursue a crashworthiness claim against the responsible party. At the R. Rex Parris Law Firm, our defective product lawyers have recovered millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements on behalf of auto accident victims throughout California; many of these claims involve automotive defects or crashworthiness.
