Some crashes are caused — or made far worse — by defects in the vehicle itself. These claims are separate from any claim against another driver and are brought against the manufacturer and parts suppliers.
Common Vehicle Defects
- Airbags that fail to deploy or deploy dangerously
- Brake and steering failures
- Tire tread separation and blowouts
- Seatbelt and seat failures
- Roof crush and rollover hazards
- Fuel system defects that cause fires
Preserve the Vehicle
The vehicle is critical evidence. Before it is repaired, salvaged or sold, an attorney can arrange for it to be preserved and inspected.
