The Importance of Seatbelts by Accident Injury Lawyers
Seatbelts are essential safety devices that can significantly reduce the risk of serious injuries or fatalities in car accidents. It’s crucial to wear a seatbelt at all times, regardless of the length or speed of the trip.
Here are some sobering statistics about seatbelt use:
- In 2020, seatbelts saved an estimated 14,955 lives in the United States. (Source: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration)
- Seatbelt use reduces the risk of fatal injuries to front-seat passengers by 45% and the risk of moderate to serious injuries by 50%. (Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)
- More than half of the teens (13-19 years old) and adults aged 20-44 who died in crashes in 2020 were unrestrained at the time of the crash. (Source: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration)
These statistics highlight the importance of wearing a seatbelt on every trip. It could save your life.
