Seatbelts are one of the most important safety features in a vehicle, designed to protect passengers from severe injuries or fatalities in the event of a crash. However, while seatbelts save lives, they can also cause serious injuries due to the force they exert during an accident. From bruising and fractures to internal organ damage, seatbelt-related injuries can have lasting physical and financial consequences.
