Burns from Heated Car Seats
As you may know, many new automobiles are coming equipped with heated and cooled seats. This luxury upgrade can be available on many newer model vehicles.
Unfortunately, for paraplegics and quadriplegics the heated seats in some models can be extremely dangerous. Third-degree burns are happening in heated car seats with paraplegics and others who have neurological deficits because the passenger cannot tell they are being burned. In some instances, up to 150° have been recorded from heated car seats.
Manufacturers of automobiles have certain responsibilities under product liability law and can be held responsible if an unreasonably dangerous product led to a serious injury or wrongful death. Not every case is appropriate for a product liability analysis and it takes an experienced Texas personal injury lawyer to investigate a potential product liability case in Texas.
