ABSTRACT:
Provided is a vehicle body structure which can prevent a door from entering a vehicle interior by preventing deformation of a beam extending in a vehicle width direction in a seat of a vehicle even when a side collision has occurred in the vehicle. In the vehicle body structure, a seat leg is placed above a cross member and fixed to the cross member. Additionally, a pair of seat legs is arranged on the right and left sides, and the seat legs are interconnected by a rod member. A beam is coupled with an upper end of the seat leg. The side of the beam protrudes to the outer side of the seat leg in the width direction of the vehicle, and a portion protruding outside of the seat leg is a protruding portion. A load transmission member having a length in the vehicle width direction substantially equal to the length of the protruding portion of the beam is arranged on the side of the seat leg.
