Injuries or Fatalities Caused by Defective Vehicles

SUV Rollover, Roof Crush, Seat Belt Failure and Tire Blow Out

Defective vehicle parts can cause serious life altering injuries and even death. Manufacturers are responsible for providing products that are reasonably safe when being used as intended. This is known as “strict liability.” When seat belts fail during an auto accident injuries sustained will be much worse than if the seat belts had performed properly. You may be able to recover damages from the vehicle manufacturer in this kind of circumstance. SUV’s that have a proclivity to roll due to faulty vehicle design may also be the fault of the manufacturer. It is best to seek the counsel of an auto accident injury lawyer if you feel you may have a legitimate claim against a vehicle manufacturer.

Who’s at Fault?

Even if you were at fault in the accident, you may still be entitled to compensation for your injuries and if a defective vehicle or vehicle part played a role in the injury. Auto manufactures and parts manufactures are responsible for building safe vehicles. If those vehicles fail to safely perform in an accident due to a design flaw or defective part, then the automaker or parts manufacturer should be held responsible. 

Holding Automakers and Parts Manufactures Responsible

Do you have to go to trial?
