Defective Automobile Injury
Lawyers
Many of the products we use here in Florida are well designed and built. There are exceptions,
however, and poorly designed or manufactured automobiles can be exceptionally dangerous.
There are many types of vehicle defect claims:
- Crashworthiness
-
- Rollover accident
-
- vehicle's design leads to rollover
- Roof crush
-
- failure to properly design and reinforce vehicle roof leads to intrusion into
the driver compartment or passenger compartment
- Seat back failure
- Seat belt defect
- Air bar defect
- Sudden acceleration defect
- Engine fire
-
- engine defects which lead to car fires or fuel-fed vehicle fires
An auto defect lawyer may be able to help.
Recently in the news, including a segment on CBS' 60 Minutes, are car seats. Car seat backs have
not been required to be tested in crash tests, and only recent tests have shown the insufficiency
of seat back standards. Most automobile seat problems are due to defective or non-sturdy parts,
including seat tracks, recliner mechanisms and seat backs.
If the seat back collapses backwards in a rear impact, a driver may lose control
of the vehicle and cause further injuries. It can also interfere with the restraint system,
in some cases allowing the vehicle occupants to slide from under the restraint and be
ejected from the vehicle, even at low speeds. Rear seat occupants may be injured by a
collapsed front seat, or to be trapped underneath it in a rear-impact collision.
There are many instances of vehicle product liability. If you or a loved one has been injured by
a defective automobile, defective vehicle, defective SUV, or other auto product liability, then you
may be entitled to damages to make up for your harms and losses.
Contact a personal injury lawyer in our office today for a free,
confidential, consultation regarding your defective auto claim.
In vehicle defect claims or auto product liability claims, we may co-counsel, or jointly
prosecute your serious personal injury claim or wrongful death claim with a defective automobile
lawyer whom we know and trust.
