If you have suffered a catastrophic injury or the wrongful death of a loved one in a motor vehicle accident, it is often difficult to know where to find help in putting your life back together. Were the injuries just the result of being in the wrong place at the wrong time? Or did the manufacturer of the vehicle sell a defective vehicle and it was just a matter of time until an accident happened?
In all of our auto defect injury cases, we advance all costs. No attorney fees apply unless we are able to obtain a recovery on your behalf.
On the road, there are many things that can’t be controlled, such as road conditions, the weather, and the actions of other drivers. Each one of these may contribute to an accident. Auto accidents may also be caused by a design flaw in the vehicle itself, as was the case in many SUV rollover accidents, most notable the Ford Explorer. Sometimes, the vehicle simply fails to provide adequate safety in a foreseeable accident or reasonable protection in the event of a collision or roll over.
Some issues relating to defects that may cause an accident include:
- Auto fires
- Door latch defects
- Roof crush
- Truck under-ride accidents
- Seat belt failure
- Crashworthiness
- Seat back collapse
- Brake-shift interlock devices
- Tire blow outs or failures
- Improper center of gravity
- Child car seat failures
- SUV rollover
Vehicle design and crash-worthiness cases are very complex. The manufacturers defend these cases very strenuously because the design flaw has been incorporated into an entire model line. When an accident involving wrongful death or catastrophic personal injury has occurred and when the crash-worthiness of the vehicle is questioned, a complete analysis of potential crash-worthiness claims is critical before other related claims can be addressed. This is especially true in auto accidents when one or more drivers may be partially responsible for the accident itself. If the related claims are resolved without first taking into account possible crash-worthiness claims, the crash-worthiness claim may be adversely affected or even unintentionally released before it is even started.The personal injury lawyers affiliated with Mitchell S. Sexner & Associates LLC can help you protect your rights in this regard.
