    Airbags are designed to provide supplemental safety for passengers in any vehicle. However, sometimes these safety devices do not operate properly and can constitute a potentially dangerous safety hazard for those in the vehicle. Understanding the dangers
  • Automobile Accidents: Uninsured or Underinsured Drivers
    Despite the fact that it is the law to have sufficient insurance for a car, not everyone follows this law. Uninsured or underinsured drivers are becoming a bigger threat in the case of automobile accidents every year. If an underinsured or uninsured driver gets into a car wreck and is at fault, then they are liable for the costs of the accident, despite the fact that they don't have insurance.
  • Bus Safety Put to the Test
    Each year, thousands of Americans are involved in a bus or public transit collision or crash. It can be diffult to know what to do after such an accident occurs but several national government entities are working on new technology to decrease traffic accidents with buses and public transit.
  • Cell Phones and Cars: A Fatal Equation
    Technology in modern times has made it easy to communicate wherever we may be, including while driving our cars. However, cell phone usage by drivers has dramatically increased the risk of a car accident. Using a cell phone while operating a vehicle lowers awareness and decreases the reaction time of the driver. In the case of an accident involving a cellular phone, legal action can be taken.

    While it is estimated that nearly 15,000 lives are saved each year because of seat belts during automobile accidents, it is also estimated that nearly 10,000 deaths are the result of defective seat belts in car wrecks. The national campaign to get individuals to use their seat belts becomes more difficult when defective seat belts become the cause of an automobile driver's death.
  • Inadequate Tires: a Danger to Drivers
    Tire failure often plays a small or large part in auto accidents that cause serious injuries or death. Tire failure can occur in several different ways including tire blowout injury, sidewall zipper failure, and tread separation. In most cases, these malfunctions are the fault of the tire manufacturer. All of these can pose a possibly fatal risk to the driver.
  • Operating an Automobile and Talking on a Cell Phone Can be Risky
    As cell phones have tripled in use over the last decade, so has their popularity. Individuals find cell phones to provide convenience to their lives, however, many individuals who use cell phones while operating a vehicle actually increase the risk of being involved in an accident. Several studies in recent years have discovered that cell phone use in automobiles can be deadly.
  • The Fault System of Automobile Accidents
    When an automobile accident occurs, it can be a frightening and confusing situation, which is why it is imperative for individuals to know the law and preexisting "fault" situations for the state an individual lives in. Not one state has a completely "no fault" policy, but almost all states and insurances vary in coverage and in the laws.
