Seat belts can be the victim’s worst enemy.

You often see them with the patient’s first visit. A huge black/blue hematoma ranging across patient’s chest. This is evidence of a “seat belt injury”. Quickly get your camera and take several pictures to capture the proof of a major trauma.

Dr. Gary Lewkovich our favorite PI Dialectician, offers research that show the negative effects of seat belt use. Of course, the belts are life savers, but at what cost?

The types of injuries often seen from the seat belt which prevent the patient from catapulting are :

bullet

Spinal Injuries: torquing action, avulsion tears of neural tissues;

bullet

Costochondritis: inflammation of the anterior ribs, adjacent to the sternal region;

bullet

Abdominal injuries: liver, spleen kidney bruising;

bullet

Breast injuries: contusion, implant rupture / dislocation;

bullet

Pregnancy complications;

bullet

Postural aberrations: chronic pain syndrome.

Proofs of seat belt injuries greatly enhance the value of PI cases.
