Defective Door Latches And How They May Lead To Serious Injuries
Door latch defects have caused doors to be opened and vehicle occupants to be thrown out of the vehicle. The ejections from the vehicle due to the door latch defect have lead to numerous deaths and serious injuries. Ejections cause injury to the vehicle occupant when they impact the road and/or object hit and when another vehicle does not have time to swerve out of the individual’s way. Though modifications have been suggested to prevent door latch defects from occurring, changes were not made immediately, if at all. Unfortunately when vehicle defects like door latch problems exist, the consequences are deadly.
