Four Car Safety Devices That Could Save Your Life

PHOENIX, March 1, 2017; Are you currently in the market for a new car?  If the answer is yes, then you must buy one with an active safety system that will help you avoid or mitigate a crash.  At least this is the advice that I am going to give you as a personal injury lawyer who helps clients on a daily basis who are horribly injured in car accidents. The reason that I say you must purchase a car with this new safety technology is because this technology could save your life or the life of someone that you love.

In addition, this technology has become extremely affordable and it will help to protect you in the following ways:

  1. It will protect you when you don't see the car in front of you stopping;
  2. It will protect you when don't see the car in the lane next to you;
  3. It will protect you when you are trying to back out of a parking space; and
  4. It will protect you if you are actually involved in a collision.

So, what are these "must have" car safety systems?  They are the following:

  • Forward Collision Warning – A forward collision warning system is the safety system that should be on the top of your list because it is designed to keep you from crashing into the back of a vehicle that suddenly stops in front of you.
  • Blind Spot Warning – Blind spot warning and rear-cross traffic alert will warn you when you are attempting to change lanes and a car is in your blind spot.
  • Backup Cameras –Backup cameras are such a great feature that they should be standard on all cars by 2018. 
  • Inflatable seat belts – Developed by Ford, in a crash they deploy and spread the force of a crash over an area of the body that's five times greater than a traditional belt, further reducing the likelihood of injury.
