What Is Crashworthiness?​

Crashworthiness Legal Claims

Crashworthiness is the science of using vehicle safety systems to prevent or reduce the risk of serious accident injuries. Strong Law Offices looks at all serious motor vehicle accident claims to determine whether the motor vehicle was “crashworthy.” For example, our lawyers will ask:

• Did the vehicle maintain proper survival space?
• Did it prevent occupant ejection?
• Did it properly restrain occupants during the entire collision?
• Did a car fire occur? If so, were the vehicle’s fire prevention systems adequate?
• Was energy distributed appropriately?

If a defect in the motor vehicle and/or the crashworthiness of the motor vehicle approximately caused or led to an injury and/or greater injury than otherwise would have been reasonably expected for the same or similar type of motor vehicle accident, you may have a crashworthiness legal claim for failure to provide reasonable protection in the motor vehicle accident.​
