Legal Question in Personal Injury in Pennsylvania

My son was a back seat passenger in a high speed chase with his seatbelt on. The driver hit a cement wall at a high rate of speed. The seatbelt caused many internal injuries, along with a broken collarbone, but the seatbelt broke and my son was thrown up under the dashboard. He spent 17 days in the trauma center. Can the automobile manufacturer be held responsible for the seat belt breaking?

Definitely. I know an attorney who specializes in seatbelt cases, and I would be happy to refer you to him. Rhe whole purpose of a seatbelt is to restrain the passenger, and it should not have broke. These are difficult cases and the manufacturer will fight hard. You really need a lawyer who has been down this road before and has access to the best experts. A regular personal injury lawyer might tell you he can handle the case, but if it was my son, I'd want the best.
