Seatback Failure Product Liability Lawyer in Ohio and Pennsylvania
Offices in Cleveland, Chardon, Youngstown, and Lorain
Seatback failure occurs when the back of a vehicle’s front seat collapses rearward during a collision—often in rear-end impacts. This type of defect can completely undermine the protection offered by seatbelts and airbags, turning safety features into false promises.
In many vehicle models, adjustable front seats are built with flimsy, substandard gears or mechanisms that cannot withstand the forces of a crash. When these components strip, shear, or break, the front seat can collapse into the back seat, throwing the occupant violently rearward. This failure can result in devastating injuries or even death—not just for the front seat occupant, but for any passengers seated behind them.
At Lowe Trial Lawyers, our seatback failure attorneys take these cases seriously. We investigate every aspect of the crash, analyze the vehicle’s design and materials, and work with engineering experts to hold manufacturers accountable for putting dangerous products on the road. We know that some automakers have long been aware of these risks—and have done too little to correct them.
