Georgia Seatback Collapse Attorneys

Some of the most tragic motor vehicle accidents, even among those that occur at fairly low speeds, involve car seatbacks failing to remain locked into place and subjecting the vehicle's occupants to sudden, violent, and destructive forces. The consequence is that a seemingly minor, low-speed, rear-end collision at an intersection can result in catastrophic or even fatal injuries to the drivers, passengers, or children in the back seat of the vehicle that has been hit.

It shouldn't.

At Harris Penn Lowry, LLP, we represent seriously injured people and surviving family members from throughout the states of Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina, and South Carolina in cases involving rear impact accidents, seatback failures, and other auto defects.

As of yet, no federal standards have been set for the strength of automobile seatbacks. But even though car ads often claim to meet or exceed government standards—the really important thing to know about federal standards for auto manufacturers is this:

Federal standards are MINIMUM standards and the federal government DOES NOT conduct inspections in order to see for itself if these requirements are being met. Instead, it chooses to rely on the 'honesty' of the auto-makers themselves to maintain these standards.

This has not been a wholly successful approach.

As experienced auto defect lawyers, we know better. We also know that the auto-makers know better too.

Theories of common law negligence dictate they should do better.

If you or a family member has been injured as the result of a seatback failure, head-rest failure, or other structural weaknesses, our skilled Georgia seatback collapse attorneys will represent you with strength to make certain that the auto-makers and their insurers don't fail you again.
