What is Crashworthiness?

Crashworthiness is a legal term that refers to the protection that a vehicle provides drivers and passengers during an accident. Car makers have a duty to design and build their vehicles so that they are crashworthy in all foreseeable types of accidents. Vehicles must be able to protect passengers in the event of head-on, rear-end, and roll-over accidents, for example.

If a vehicle is found to be not crashworthy due to a defective part, the vehicle manufacturer can be held legally responsible for any deaths, injuries, or other damages that resulted.
