Automobiles provide essential means of transportation for millions across the country and billions worldwide. We depend on our automobiles to perform as expected to safely transport us to our destination. When our car or a vehicle around us malfunctions, the results can be catastrophic, especially when they cause increased injuries. Car manufacturers are required to ensure their vehicles meet stringent safety standards on a federal and state level, but all too often, vehicles are released to the public that fall short of these standards and accidents result.
An automobile that was defectively designed or one containing a defective part can give rise to liability on the part of the vehicle manufacturer or part manufacturer. There have been numerous situations where the design of a vehicle caused or exacerbated an individual’s injuries. These have included airbag injuries, rollover or roof crush injuries, or tire failures.
