Personal injury lawyer says over half of car accident deaths are due to not wearing a safety belt
What started as a local ad campaign to get drivers of Sussex, England to wear their seat belts, has gone viral and is now hopefully saving the lives of people around the world. With close to 15 million hits on YouTube, “Embrace Life” turns our attention to how seat belts save lives in car accidents, and of the tragedy caused by not wearing a seat belt.
Take a look:
Our personal injury lawyers have seen both the life-saving effects of wearing seat belts and the tragic consequences of not wearing them, while helping thousands of auto accident victims in Michigan.
Seatbelts save more than 15,000 lives a year. More than half of all car accident deaths involve victims who were not properly restrained. The average cost of a critically injured person is more than $1 million, and a seat belted victim’s medical care will cost less than half of a non-seat belted victim. Think of your loved ones – how could you not wear one?
