According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), drivers and passengers ejected from cars during collisions are three-times more likely to suffer fatal injuries.
As such, the NHTSA has implemented new rules for automakers requiring a countermeasure for light passenger vehicles that will prohibit a normal-sized adult from moving more than 4 inches during any auto accident. All cars built in 2013 and beyond must have this new safety feature. In the meantime, ejections from cars during an accident will remain a top cause of injuries including:
• Broken bones
• Lacerations
• Amputations
• Spinal cord injuries
• Brain injuries
• Internal organ damage
• Death
The NHTSA reports that the use of seatbelts and child restrains remain the most effective protection against ejection during a car accident, but even with the use of these safety devices, ejection is an all too real possibility.

Who is Liable for an Ejection?
In most instances, a defective vehicle is the cause of an ejection. This can include defective restraints as well as defective windows, door latches, seats, and locks. When a vehicle is defective, it is the auto manufacturer who is responsible for damages caused in a car accident.
To prove liability, you will need an experienced car accident attorney on your side. Your attorney will conduct a thorough investigation into the cause of your injuries and work to hold the responsible party accountable. This can be a terribly difficult task that requires the attention of an experienced attorney. Many attorneys will work with other special investigators during the initial stages of their assessment to make sure no stone is left unturned.

Once liability has been established, you can expect objections from the auto manufacturer and their insurance companies. In this case as well, you will need an attorney on your side who knows how to prove liability and will not back down to pressure or intimidation from these powerful companies. Your injuries deserve compensation. An attorney will be devoted to protecting your best interest, and will do everything necessary to see that you are fully compensated for all of your damages.
