Common Auto Defects
Recent news events have caused an increased public interest in automobile defects, and for good reason. While the majority of automobile accidents in the United States are caused by driver error, there has recently been a spate of injuries and even fatalities caused by dangerous automotive defects. The injuries and deaths caused by defects are ultimately the responsibility of those who manufacture and design defective automobiles, and they should be held financially liable for the consequences of these errors.
If you or someone you love has been injured as the result of an accident caused by an auto defect, you may be entitled to financial compensation. To learn more about how the Bronx personal injury attorneys of Parker Waichman Alonso, LLP can help you, contact us today by calling 888-244-2273.
Auto Defects
By their nature, auto defects are particular to a model or brand of cars. However, there are some common problems that can occur as the result of a wide range of individual defects, such as:
- Accelerator or braking errors, which can cause the vehicle to handle strangely and dangerously
- Structural errors, which can cause a wide range of problems, from increasing the risk for rollovers to reducing the structural integrity of the automobile
- Seatbelt flaws, which can cause one of the car’s most important safety features to function incorrectly
- Fuel tank design flaws, which can increase the risk of fire or explosion, most often as a result of accidents
The injuries and deaths caused by poorly designed or manufactured automobiles are ultimately the fault of the companies that produce them. These companies should be held financially responsible for the lives they have ruined.
