After a wreck, it’s common for:
- the vehicle to be towed and repaired within days,
- photographs to be taken but not saved properly,
- medical care to begin before anyone thinks about restraint performance,
- and insurance communications to move fast.
That’s why the first step is protecting the evidence tied to the seatbelt system—not just the collision.
Questions we focus on early:
- Did the belt lock when it should have?
- Was there unusual slack, binding, or a delayed engagement?
- Were there any signs the retractor mechanism didn’t function correctly?
- Are the injuries consistent with a restraint that didn’t perform as intended?
