Defective Cars

From the founding of our firm in 1988, we have been on the cutting edge of automotive product liability litigation involving various defects in cars. Every car accident is different and has the potential of being caused not only by driver negligence, but may have also been compounded by a defect in one or both of the vehicles. Automobile Defect Cases make up a significant portion of our practice and we have achieved significant success at trial and during litigation.

The automotive defect cases we have handled include a wide variety of design, manufacturing and marketing defects, including:

Airbags
Axle Failure
Door Latch Design
Foot Pedal and Floor Mat Design
Fuel Systems
Lift Gate Latch Assembly
Rollover Propensity (handling and stability)
Roof Crush
Seat Design
Seatbelt Design
Support Structure (A-pillar, B-pillar, T-tops)
Tire Separation
Van Conversion

If you have been involved in a serious automobile accident, or believe that your injuries may have been caused by a defect in your car, you need an experienced automobile defect lawyer. Contact us today.
