Seat Belt Failures

It has been known within the automobile industry for years that the inclusion of rear-seat lap and shoulder belts would help to promote safety and save lives. While such seat belts are standard in newer cars, there are still many cars on the road lacking rear-seat lap and shoulder belts, including many cars that were manufactured after automotive companies had the technology to include them in their vehicles. Even in cars that are fully equipped with lap and shoulder belts in the front and rear seats, passengers may suffer serious injuries if their seat belts fail to respond properly during a collision.
