When you’ve been injured due to a defective seatbelt, you may be able to file an auto defect lawsuit against the automaker and/or the manufacturer of the seatbelt. However, there may be other parties liable for your injuries as well. When it comes to injuries caused by vehicle products, you may have a case against the supplier or distributor as well. Even though they did not cause the collision itself, these companies can be held liable if the seatbelt defect made your injuries worse.

At Morgan & Morgan, we believe everyone should have access to legal representation regardless of their financial situation. This is why we abide by the phrase, “The fee is free unless we win.” What does this mean exactly? Well, our attorneys work on what is known as contingency. In a contingency fee agreement, your injury attorney will only get paid when you recover compensation.
