Motor Vehicle Product Liability

Lexington, Kentucky

Every year in the United States, hundreds of thousands of people are injured in automobile accidents. While it is true that many of these are caused by driver error, a staggering number are also caused by defective automobiles.

Most recently, defective motor vehicles have been brought to mainstream attention due to Toyota’s massive recall, but these problems extend beyond unintended acceleration, and a number of factors can cause serious injury or even death when a vehicle is defective.

Despite recalls, getting compensation for injuries sustained due to a defective motor vehicle can be extremely difficult. Having an experienced product liability attorney like James Vaught on your side is the only way to make sure you are properly represented, and awarded the damages you deserve.

Potential Defects in a Motor Vehicle

In building a motor vehicle, manufacturers have a responsibility to ensure the end product is safe for drivers. Commonly, the speed of production introduces design flaws, and safety oversight result in potentially dangerous defects such as:

• Seat back failures
• Faulty power windows
• Airbag failure
• Defective child safety seats
• Defective seatbelts
• Rollovers
• Roof collapse

Additionally, any number of mechanical failures like faulty computers, defective steering, poorly constructed joints, and insufficient breaking systems can lead to terrible accidents resulting in serious injury to you or a loved one.

It is the responsibility of the vehicle manufacturer to ensure these systems work properly. When they fail to do so, you have a right to seek compensation.
