Not every serious injury comes from a dramatic highway collision. In Daly City—where drivers navigate busy arterials, dense intersections, and coastal weather changes—injuries often follow events like:
- Low-to-moderate speed impacts at intersections that still cause sudden body movement
- Hard braking behind buses, shuttles, or traffic backups
- Sideswipes and lane changes that trigger restraint loading in unexpected ways
- Rear-end collisions where occupants report slack, delayed locking, or abnormal restraint behavior
When these crashes happen, it’s common for people to assume the injury is “just from the crash.” But restraint malfunction allegations frequently turn on details: what the belt did (or didn’t do), what you felt right after, and what the vehicle records and physical components show.
