Torn or Ripped Seat Belt Attorneys of Minnesota

When the seatbelt tears or is ripped in half during an accident, something has probably gone wrong. Seat belt webbing is designed to withstand the forces of most survivable collisions without ripping or tearing. Torn or ripped webbing might happen because of a defect or manufacturing flaw in the webbing itself, such as material or weaving deficiencies.

Ripped or torn webbing might also be the consequence of some other vehicle defect. Any defect that allows excessive slack or payout of the webbing can cause the belt to be "snap-loaded" - loaded too rapidly, which can sever the webbing. Sharp or protruding edges of vehicle components can also cut through the seat belt.
