Caldwell drivers spend time on mixed roads—high-speed stretches, merging traffic, and sudden braking situations near schools, shopping areas, and busy commutes. After a collision, insurers commonly argue that:
- the injury came from impact forces alone,
- the seatbelt “did its job,”
- or the driver’s actions (seat position, posture, or alleged misuse) broke the causal chain.
When the restraint system is part of the story, the case can turn on whether the belt locked/adjusted correctly, whether the retractor behaved as expected, and whether any mechanical damage or component defect contributed to the injury.
