Deadly Defective Vehicles

While every vehicle manufacturer strives to produce cars and trucks that run well from the start, that isn’t always the case. Every part and component that is used in the building of any one vehicle is capable of having flaws.

Some of these flaws may never have any effect on the steering, braking, accelerating or overall operation of the vehicle. Still others can lead to deadly results.

Faulty seat belts and airbags are just two of the more common defects associated with serious, if not deadly, automobile accidents. Other defective components and serious results that have been seen fairly frequently include:
  • Steering – a sudden loss of steering can lead to a loss of vehicle control leaving you stranded in the street or highway
  • Tires – defective tires can lead to blowouts or tire tread separation
  • Accelerator and brake pedals – sticking pedals can easily lead to an inability to stop or speed when necessary
  • Electrical system – a faulty wiring system can lead to the loss of headlights, tail lights and brake lights; in some cars, the entire engine is run on electronics

The resulting injuries associated with defective vehicles can be something simple such as bruises and contusion. In the most severe cases, those defects can lead to brain injury, spinal cord injury, amputation or death.

Whether the defect led to, caused or exacerbated the resulting damages in the auto accident is a very complex issue.
