GM Faces Wrongful Death Suit over Defective Seat Belts
General Motors has been sued for wrongful death by Patricia Seals, a Texas woman who alleges that her daughter’s death in a June 2008 auto accident was the result of a defective seat belt. Ms. Seals is seeking at least $75,000 in damages from the auto manufacturer.
The daughter of Ms. Seals was sitting in the front passenger seat of a Chevy Cavalier at the time of the accident. During the accident, the webbing of the seat belt restraint system ripped. Ms. Seals claims that the malfunctioning of the seat belt restraint system directly led to the injuries resulting in her daughter’s untimely death.
Seals and her lawyer have argued that the defective seat belt restraining system was not properly constructed, and as a result failed to provide passengers with the necessary protection to avoid injury in the event of a serious auto accident. They have also argued that GM failed to properly test their defective product before releasing it on the market.
