¿Sabías que cada año se producen cientos de retiradas de vehículos, a menudo sin una amplia cobertura mediática? Cuando se anuncia una retirada, significa que los fabricantes de automóviles reconocen que hay un problema con sus vehículos. 

Las piezas defectuosas y la fabricación inadecuada pueden provocar problemas graves, como pedales del acelerador atascados, bolsas de aire que no se despliegan, cinturones de seguridad rotos y reventones de neumáticos en la carretera, lo que representa riesgos potencialmente mortales para usted y sus seres queridos. 

Automakers have an ethical and legal duty to make sure their vehicles are safe. If a manufacturer fails in this duty and their faulty product causes an accident, you have the right to hold them accountable.

¿PODRÍA TENER UNA CARCASA DE COCHE DEFECTUOSA?

In the unfortunate event of a car accident, your car should be designed to protect you, regardless of who is at fault for the crash. While it’s easy to assume that drivers are solely responsible for car accidents, vehicle defects are often the root cause of serious injuries. 

Algunos ejemplos de cuándo podría estar en juego un defecto en un producto automotriz:

  • Faulty fuel lines turn minor accidents into blazing fires.
  • Defective seat belts cause severe abdominal, spinal or head injuries.
  • Airbags deploy with excessive force or do not deploy at all.
  • A defective seat breaks during an accident, causing serious injuries to the occupant.
  • Vehicle rollovers are caused by faulty suspension design or result in roof crushes because of poor design.
  • Faulty ignition switches cause loss of power steering and brakes and airbags fail to deploy.
  • Recreational vehicles, limousines, passenger vans or other modified vehicles cause serious injury or death due to faulty design and manufacturing.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is a car product liability claim?

A car product liability claim arises when a defective vehicle or vehicle component causes or contributes to an accident or injury. These cases involve unsafe defects in the design, manufacturing, or warnings related to a vehicle or one of its parts.

What are the different types of vehicle defects?

Vehicle defect cases generally fall into three categories:

  • Design defects – the vehicle or part was unsafe from the beginning
  • Manufacturing defects – something went wrong during production or assembly
  • Failure to warn – inadequate safety warnings or instructions about known risks

Some cases may involve more than one type of defect.

Can I still have a case if another driver caused the crash?

Yes. A defective vehicle or part may still have contributed to the crash or worsened your injuries, even if another driver was involved. In some cases, there may be both an auto accident claim and a product liability claim.

What compensation may be available in a car product liability case?

Compensation may include:

  • Medical expenses and future treatment
