Our California Auto-Defect Injury Lawyers Offer Supportive Legal Help for Difficult Moments.
Vehicle manufacturers work under a great deal of pressure. They must ensure that the parts they manufacture are safe for use. When vehicles or their parts have defects, people’s safety could be compromised. Automobile manufacturer negligence is a matter of life and death. A flawed design or production error can lead to a vehicle that risks the lives of drivers and passengers.
Unfortunately, these mistakes can happen. If a defect contributed to your injuries, our California auto-defect injury lawyers can explain your legal options and provide guidance on potential claims against manufacturers or distributors. Call Arash Law at (888) 488-1391 to learn more.
Common Types of Auto Defects in California Car Collisions
An auto defect can be as small as a missing bolt or as disastrous as a starter that catches fire when you turn the key in the ignition. The history of auto safety defects is long and tragic, with thousands of lives destroyed and lost from manufacturing mistakes and dangerous designs. Always check your vehicle manufacturer’s recall list to be aware of known defects before it’s too late.
Here are a few common defects that can end in tragedy for an unsuspecting driver or passenger:
Airbag Failure
If your airbag failed to deploy in an auto-defect-related accident, contributing to your related injuries, you may have a case against the manufacturer. Airbags reduce fatalities and can minimize injuries. When it fails to deploy, it could cause more problems and result in serious injuries to the victims.
Common injuries from faulty airbags include head and face trauma, brain injuries, blindness, and spinal cord injuries. You may be able to sue in the event of late deployment, no deployment, overpowering deployment, or deployment when there was no car crash.
Seatbelt/Seatback Failure
Seatbelt failures can lead to catastrophic injuries such as spinal cord damage, paralysis, amputation, and internal organ damage in the event of a car accident. A latch failure can harm a victim in the same way as if they had no seatbelt on at all.
Retractor failure can mean the belt does not prevent the occupant from striking the object in front of him or her. Seatback failure can cause a seat to collapse on top of other occupants in an accident. This failure is especially dangerous for small children sitting in the back seat.
Rollover Accidents/Roof Crush
Dangerous vehicle design can lead to an SUV, truck, or recreational vehicle being prone to ‘rollover’ accidents. This can lead to the driver or rider flipping over from simple things, such as sliding tires. Electronic Stability Control devices can help prevent rollovers, but many manufacturers still have not installed them.
A poorly designed roof or vehicle cage may also contribute to rollover and roof crush injuries. Victims can suffer broken bones, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and internal damage.
(No guarantee of outcome. Results displayed were dependent on unique facts of that case, and different facts will bring different results.)
These are just a few of the many possible auto defects. A car is often an essential part of daily life, but it can also create risks if it malfunctions. Staying informed about the latest automobile recalls, such as Ford issuing safety recalls for the Fusion and Ranger, and properly maintaining your car, can help you avoid these terrible part-related tragedies.
Unfortunately, it’s not always possible to avoid injuries from a manufacturer’s mistake. If you or a loved one suffered a serious injury or died because of an auto defect, you may need legal representation. The car accident lawyers at Arash Law, led by Arash Khorsandi, can assist you in determining your legal options based on the specifics of your case.
