Seatbelt Injuries

Seatbelts save lives but can also cause bruising or fractures in high-impact accidents. Chest, shoulder, and abdominal injuries are most common, especially in severe crashes.

Symptoms may include bruising, pain while breathing, or swelling. While uncomfortable, these injuries are usually less severe than injuries from not wearing a seatbelt.

Treatment may include rest, pain management, or physical therapy. Proper seatbelt positioning reduces injury severity while maximizing protection during a crash.
