Car Defects / Auto Defects
Car manufacturers have a duty to design and manufacture safe vehicles. This means that all vehicles must be designed to ensure the safety of drivers and passengers in collisions and accidents.
Common types of defective automobile design and manufacturing include:
- Seat Belts
Seat belts that fail to hold occupants safely in seats and within the car during accidents (spooling out)
- Airbags
Airbags that fail to inflate on impact or trigger too quickly without impact
- Tires
Tires that fail or blow out under normal driving conditions
- Seat Backs
Seat backs that collapse on impact during an accident
- Brakes
Brakes that fail to slow and stop the vehicle as needed
- Accelerators, Gas Pedals
Gas pedals that “stick,” causing high-speed collisions due to unintended acceleration
- SUV Rollovers
Instability causing vehicles (commonly SUVs) to rollover in relatively mild collisions.
When accidents and injuries are caused or increased by flaws in the design and manufacture of an automobile, the manufacturer of the defective car can be held responsible to pay damages to the injured victims.
The skilled attorneys of Kershaw, Cutter & Ratinoff have represented victims of:
- Rollover accidents
- Accidents where the car’s roof collapsed
- Accidents where seat belts spooled out
- Accidents caused by failed brakes
- Accidents caused by tire separation and blow out
