National Click It Or Ticket Campaign Focuses on Improving Seat Belt Usage

Published on May 25, 2016

Nationwide, seat belt use has been growing, but lack of proper seat belt safety remains a very serious public safety issue according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Even if it’s just for a short drive around the block, always make sure you fasten your seat belt, as well as the seat belt of any other passengers in your vehicle. Car accidents can happen without warning and in the blink of an eye, so it’s important to make sure that you are prepared.

From Monday, 5/23 to Sunday, 6/5, police in North Carolina and across the country will be stepping up enforcement of seat belt safety. This initiative is part of the annual Click It or Ticket Campaign, and is aimed at reducing the number of injuries and fatalities that occur when vehicle occupants do not buckle up.

Seat belts remain the most effective way to avoid serious or fatal injuries in the event of a car accident. According to the CDC, using a seat belt reduces your risk of serious crash related injuries or death by about 50%. Unfortunately, seat belt non-use is an especially dangerous problem for younger, inexperienced drivers.

Here are some troubling statistics about seat belt safety:

58% of back seat passengers that were fatally injured in vehicle crashes in 2014 were not wearing a seatbelt.
Between 2010 and 2014, more than 50% of passenger vehicle occupants killed in traffic accidents were not wearing a seat belt.
In North Carolina, 415 people that were not wearing a seat belt were killed in traffic accidents last year.

Thank You for Everything

I would like to take time to thank the staff at Daggett Shuler Attorneys at Law. To Megan Youngblood for helping me get my disability started; thank you so much for everything!

Olivia Winston

Outstanding

My experience with Daggett Shuler was amazing. James Cohn was the attorney I worked with for my workers’ compensation claim. He is an awesome attorney. I was injured while on the job performing my duties with a local company, and the next Monday was fired because they did not want to pay my medical bills. After going to Daggett Shuler they looked after me throughout the process. The Daggett Shuler team was outstanding in their professionalism and empathy.

Daggett Shuler Will Have Your Back

I was expecting it to take years to get disability and Daggett Shuler went above and beyond to get it as quickly as possible. They got the disability awarded in 6 maybe 8 months tops. I would recommend Daggett Shuler to anyone filing a disability claim. These guys will have your back for sure!

Couldn't Be More Pleased

A wonderful law firm who personally takes care of your issues. Workers’ Comp can be a nightmare in so many ways so it is good to have an exceptional attorney with that experience guiding you through the process. Griff Shuler was my attorney and I couldn’t be more pleased with the way he handled my case.
