PRODUCT LIABILITY
AUTO MANUFACTURING
DEFECT
Automobile
accident litigation may involve a unique class of litigation
known as products liability.
In the automobile context, these
claims involve a defect in a given motor vehicle which caused
the accident and resulting injuries.
These defects can include:
-
Tire blowout
-
Brake failure
-
Mechanical failure
Often, a design or manufacturing
defect will not cause the actual accident, but
cause the injuries sustained in the
accident to be far worse.
Well known examples of this include
a design defect which makes an
-
SUV more susceptible to
rolling over in an accident
-
Gas tank more
likely to ignite in a collision
-
Manufacturing defect which causes a
seatbelt to
fail
-
Airbag to deploy improperly
Automobile accident
litigation, although common, is among the most complicated areas of
tort litigation given the myriad types of motor vehicle accidents
and the various laws governing this area.
Thus, it is critical that an injured
person receive experienced representation in a timely manner to
insure that their medical bills are paid, their right protected and
that they receive just compensation for their injuries.
