About 75% of Vehicle Ejections in Crashes Result in Fatal Injury
The northeast Harris County accident on Adlong School Road helps reveal why this is so. It’s not always just the force of the impact on a victim no longer protected by an enclosed vehicle. In many cases, the ejected vehicle occupants also impacts with other vehicles or get trapped beneath the wreckage. In the Adlong School Road incident, the driver that negligently left the car parked in the roadway without its lights on might be primarily liable for causing the crash.
Using seatbelts can reduce the danger of vehicle ejection in the event of a crash. But sometimes defective seatbelts fail, vehicle door latches warp, and doors spring open. Victims can even be ejected from a vehicle through windows and sunroofs during rollovers. Reduce your risk of fatal vehicle ejection. Our Harris County personal injury attorneys urge you to always wear your seatbelt.
