Attorney Rick Jaklitsch ranks as one of the most decorated personal injury lawyers in the United States. Rick Jaklitsch has published material on injuries sustained from a car accident, including seat belt injuries.
Injuries that occur in a car accident affect the head, face, and neck. Some other injuries happen to the chest and shoulders. Many of these chest, shoulder, and even abdominal injuries occur because of seat belts. While seat belts prevent serious or even lethal injuries, they can also cause problems. Because they keep the passenger restrained during forceful collisions, seat belts firm up.
The seat belt lays across your chest and over the clavicle. Since seat belts lock in when the car makes a sudden stop, the force can cause the clavicle to break. Seat belts can cause skin abrasions and broken ribs. And with slouching or obesity, the shoulder strap under an arm can cause significant damage to the liver. In some rare cases, ruptures to the heart and lung lacerations have caused fatalities. If you sustain injuries like this, call The Jaklitsch Law Group immediately, 855-Big-Dog1.
