Cars and Car Parts

Automobile manufacturers and parts suppliers may be liable under state product liability law when there has been a defect in the design or manufacture of the vehicle, or its parts, which results in severe injury or death.  Auto manufacturers and suppliers have a responsibility to design and manufacture their cars and its parts so that they are reasonably safe when used  properly.   We handle many types of product liability cases involving automobiles and auto parts when severe injury have resulted, including:  SUV rollover accidents; tire failure and tread defects; improper roof design resulting in crush injuries or ejection of passengers; defective seat belts, seat backs, air bags, and head restraint devices; and unsafe infant car seats.
