Manufacturers of cars and car parts have an obligation to produce safe products that keep drivers safe. When manufacturers are negligent and produce unsafe cars, serious injuries can be the result. Defective seatbelts, for example, can lead to fatalities and serious head injuries in a car accident. If air bags fail to inflate correctly, passengers in a car accident can suffer asphyxiation, facial injuries, spinal cord injuries, or brain trauma.
