Car Door Latch Failure
While any vehicle accident can be dangerous, even the
smallest wreck greatly increases in risk if the vehicle
door latches fail to operate properly and keep the doors
closed. When an accident occurs and door latches fail,
occupants are often thrown from the vehicle, sustaining
injuries far worse than those which would have happened
had the victim remained in the vehicle.
Victims who are flung from a vehicle during a wreck
face certain injuries from hitting the road and other
surfaces, and even greater risk - including the
possibility of death - if they are struck by other
vehicles.
The simple fact is that manufacturers must take every
step possible to ensure that vehicle doors remain
latched during a wreck. Cases throughout the nation
have shown that design flaws or poor installation
techniques have resulted in vehicle latches failing
during accidents.
