Defective Vehicle Accident Claims

Not all car crashes are caused by human error. Sometimes, a defective car part or mechanical failure is to blame. If you were injured due to a faulty vehicle, you may have a product liability claim against the manufacturer.

Common Vehicle Defects

  • Brake failure
  • Tire blowouts
  • Airbag malfunction
  • Stuck accelerators
  • Steering system failure

Who Can Be Held Liable

The car manufacturer, parts supplier, or repair shop may be responsible. In some cases, more than one party shares fault.

What You Can Recover

  • Medical expenses
  • Lost wages
  • Property damage
  • Pain and suffering

These claims often require expert analysis to prove the defect. A lawyer can help coordinate inspections and fight for your rights against large corporations.
