Automobile manufacturers end up issuing hundreds of recalls each year. Tragically, many of these are caused by dangerous and defective parts which result in car crashes and injuries. These auto parts such as airbags that won’t deploy, under-pressured tires, and faulty brake systems cause serious harm or death to far too many individuals nationwide.

Common Automobile Defect Cases We’ve Handled
Our team has worked on a variety of automobile defect cases, including rollover accidents and tire defects.
Rollover Accidents and Roof Crashes:
In rollover accidents, a vehicle's roof must meet certain standards to protect the passengers. If the roof fails to meet these requirements, it could collapse during the rollover, leading to serious injuries or even fatalities. This is often the result of a manufacturing defect or poor design. When a roof is not properly reinforced, it can cause significant harm to those inside the vehicle during an accident.
Tire Defects:
Tire defects can occur for several reasons, including design flaws, manufacturing errors, or poor quality control. Tire manufacturers are responsible for ensuring the safety of their products, and when they fail to do so, it can lead to dangerous accidents. A defective tire can cause significant harm to drivers and passengers, ranging from crashes to serious injuries. Manufacturers must be held accountable for these defects and the consequences they cause.
