Side window glass integrity is an important part of preventing ejection in auto accidents. There are over 7,800 deaths a year in the U.S. due to ejection, which is often the result of defective auto glass. An ejected occupant is three times more likely to be killed in a car accident than one who remains in the vehicle.
Certain technologies, such as side window glazing, can be applied to side windows to help prevent ejection. All front windshields are made of two pieces of glass with a tough plastic laminate in between. While the glass may shatter, the plastic will stretch and yield, acting as a safety net and keeping occupants within the vehicle. A vehicle glazing defect in the windshield or side window could result in a shattered window and lead to ejection and major injuries.
Rollover Danger
The use of tempered glass and defective glass application technologies increases the likelihood of ejection and other dangers in an SUV or vehicle rollover accident. If you believe that a side window defect or faulty glass application contributed to the injuries you sustained due to ejection or partial ejection in your accident, we have the experience and technical resources needed to analyze the accident and determine if a manufacturer is responsible.
