Defective Vehicle Claims Attorneys

Automobile manufacturers have a legal and an ethical obligation to build vehicles that are safe and crashworthy in order to protect occupants from injury when a wreck occurs.  When manufacturers fail in that duty, by building and selling automobiles that roll over, crumple, or otherwise do not reasonably protect the occupants from injury during an accident, you have the right to hold them liable for their actions.

Serious injuries caused by vehicle defects can stem from a multitude of defects including but not limited to the following:

• Rollover Accidents – when a vehicle flips over
• Roof Crush - during a rollover wreck a weak roof collapses and injures the occupant
• Seat Back Failure – a weak seat collapses backwards injuring or ejecting its occupant
• Glass Breakage - weak glass glazing that allows occupants to be ejected from the vehicle
• Airbag Failure - airbags that fail to deploy or deploy to late
• Seat Belt Failure - seat belts that unlatch, tear, spool out or otherwise fail during an accident
• Door Latch Failure - doors that open during a wreck allowing passengers to be ejected
• Gasoline Fire - defective gas tank or fuel line that causes a fire or explosion
• Defective Tires – tires that delaminate or blow out causing a wreck
• Automobile Recalls – vehicle subject to a recall that has not been fixed
