UNSAFE AUTOMOBILE PRODUCTS - Individuals have been severely and permanently injured by automobile defects that were overlooked in the interest of greed, even in some cases when not fixing the problem saved the manufacturer only a few cents per car. Some examples of automobile accidents caused by manufacturer defects are automobile rollover accidents and defective tires. For example, the Ford Explorer was built on a faulty suspension system that was improperly designed and Firestone tires were prone to sudden blowouts.
Another example are tires that are made of defective materials, that are mismatched, previously used, or even “expired”. If a vehicle is traveling on defective tires, an accident can be caused or significantly worsened by those defects. In addition to injuries that may be caused by automobile defects, accidents can be significantly worsened by them as well due to defective restraint systems, defective airbags, and defective seats.
Unsafe Auto Products Include:
- Defective Car Seatbacks
- Defective Door Latches
- Defective Airbags
- Defective Tires
- Improper Design (Causing SUV Rollovers, Fires, and Roof Caving)
- Defective Restraint Systems (Seatbelt Defects)
- Defective Baby Car Seats
- Other Defective Vehicle Parts
Notable vehicles that have had one or more of these problems include:
- General Motor's Hummer H2 (sudden loss of steering)
- Ford's Crown Victoria (susceptible to fires in rear end collisions)
- Ford Explorers (susceptible to rollovers and tire blowouts)
- Mitsubishi Monteros (susceptible to rollovers and roof cavings)
You, as a consumer, may never realize that the design of the vehicle that you travel in may prove to be dangerous due to a design defect that the manufacturer was aware of or should have foreseen. In most instances, personal injury cases involving large manufacturing companies can be terrifying for individuals faced with the prospect.
However, you do not have to be alone; you can be represented by highly skilled product liability attorneys who are capable of obtaining critical information through discovery and witness preparation. This ensures that you and your family recover monies sufficient to pay your medical bills, compensate for lost income, compensate for future medical expenses or provide for the care of young children left without a parent.
