How a Defective Door Latch Can Lead to Vehicle Ejection and Serious Injury
If an occupant has been ejected (fully or partially) from the vehicle through a door, the door latch must be investigated. Risk of serious injury increases significantly for occupants who leave the vehicle. The vehicle shown in the photo below was struck on the driver’s side in the area between the trunk and rear door. The door opened during the resulting spin, and a young woman was ejected, suffering a serious spinal cord injury. The driver stayed in the vehicle and escaped serious injury.
