Orange County Seatback Failure Lawyers
California Backseat Injury Attorneys

When people are involved in auto accidents, some of the injuries they suffer may be seatbelt injuries, ejection from the vehicle, and airbag injury. There are many other causes of injuries that are related to car accidents, including seat back failure. Many vehicle passengers located in the backseat are unknowingly at risk for serious injury or even death.

The accomplished seatback failure lawyers at Bisnar Chase are experienced in this area of auto accident law and have just won a significant case against Ford Motor Company. Bisnar Chase represented the mother of a seven year old girl who died as the result of seatback failure. The plaintiff and her daughter were rear-ended at 25 miles per hour while in her Ford Escort. As a result of the accident and the faulty seats, the mother's head struck the daughter in the chest, causing the daughter's heart to rupture, as well as internal bleeding. The young daughter died one day later. On the first day of the trial, the Ford Motor Company agreed to pay the plaintiff a confidential settlement.

Cars equipped with bucket seats have a high risk for seatback failure, causing the seats to bend or collapse. Consequently, backseat passengers may suffer various physical injuries. Even an accident occurring at a low or moderate speed may cause severe injuries to passengers. The Ford Motor Company has been aware of dangerous seats for over 30 years. This deadly problem was investigated by Ford in 1992, and the outcome was that the seats cause serious harm in the event of rear- end collisions. The Ford Motor Company did not make any design changes to combat the seriousness of the seatback failure.

Some vehicles which may place passengers at risk for death or injury due to seatback failure, include:

  • American Motors
  • Ford passenger vehicles
  • General Motors
  • Hyundai
  • Kia
  • Mazda
  • Mitsubishi
  • Nissan
  • Toyota

Small children are at serious risk while sitting behind these dangerous seats because of their small frame. If your vehicle is equipped with this type of seat, place small children behind an empty seat or a seat with the smaller passenger. All auto accidents pose a threat for serious injuries, such as bone fracture, head injury, internal organ damage, scarring and disfigurement, and spinal cord injury. By hiring an experienced backseat injury attorney you may be able to recover compensation for your injuries, medical bills, and loss of wages.
