If you get into a car accident, your seat belt is supposed to protect you from injury – not inflict harm. However, many car accident victims suffer injuries from the force of impact with their seat belts. These injuries, as with any others sustained in an automobile accident in Colorado, can be included on a car accident insurance claim in pursuit of financial compensation.
While there is no question that seat belts save lives, they can also be the cause of certain injuries in automobile accidents due to the force of the occupant’s body against the straps. “Seat belt syndrome” describes an injury pattern often seen in crash victims who were wearing seat belts at the time of their accidents.
While safety restraint systems can prevent a car accident occupant from suffering catastrophic or fatal car accident injuries, the impact between the victim’s body and the safety harness can be powerful enough to inflict injuries, as well. Common examples include:
Symptoms to look out for in a potential case of seat belt injuries include pain or tenderness, redness, bruising, stiffness, loss of mobility, trouble breathing, and numbness and tingling. These symptoms may affect the places where the seat belt rested during the car accident or, in the case of a spinal cord injury, impact the rest of the body, as well.

Colorado is an “at-fault” car accident state. When a vehicle collision takes place, those injured in the crash have the right to seek damages or financial compensation from the at-fault person or party. If a car accident causes seat belt injuries, these can be included in the victim’s car insurance claim.
Client Reviews
“Sam and his team worked to make sure every aspect of my case was taken care of and that I was informed the whole way through. I know nothing about law or how the process works, so he explained everything to me in a way that was easy for us non-lawyers to understand. I can’t recommend them enough and everything they helped me with over the course of my 15 month case. I’d highly recommend!”

“Sam Cannon is what you want in a lawyer. I’ve used them a couple of times now and each time I call, Sam’s always shown a level of dedication that’s beyond impressive. In fact, he often seems to be more passionate about my case than I was, which was refreshing because it’s rare to see that kind of care these days.
More than just a good person, Sam and company are excellent at what they do. Professional and, more importantly, timely. I’ve never not had a call or message returned within 24 hours. They really set the standard for legal help. If you find yourself in a bind, this is the firm to call.”

All drivers in Colorado are required to carry liability insurance to pay for the medical bills and property repairs of others after an at-fault crash. If you are diagnosed with seat belt injuries, you may qualify for benefits under this coverage if you can prove that the other driver is at fault.
Another possibility for seat belt injury compensation is a product liability claim. This may be available if the seat belt you were using was defective and malfunctioned during a car accident, such as the buckle unlatching or belt tearing. Seat belt defects may give you the right to hold a manufacturer or distributor responsible in addition to the person who caused the car accident.
