Tire and Automobile Defects Cause Accidents
McAllen Auto Accident Injury Attorneys
Many people suffer on a daily basis due to defective products. This is especially
true in the area of passenger vehicles. Defective tires can cause blow outs or tread
separation leading to a devastating accident. SUV’s poorly designed can tip under
normal driving circumstances causing life threatening injuries. Seat belt failures
and airbag failures are common causes of unnecessary injuries in motor vehicle accidents.
It is important to remember that even if the manufacturer has recalled the product
they are still liable for damages resulting from the defective product. The recall
does not excuse them from liability. You should contact McAllen auto accident injury
attorneys with plenty of experience dealing with product liability if you have been
injured due to a faulty or defective product.
The publicity of the Bridgestone /Firestone fiasco several years ago made many people
aware of the dangers of defective tires. Tire tread can separate, or blow out causing
certain vehicles such as SUV’s to rollover or lose control causing serious accidents.
What many do not know is that several tire manufacturers are guilty of making these
same types of defective tires. McAllen auto accident injury attorneys can help you
determine the fault of the manufacturer in tire defect cases. At Carabin and Shaw
PC, we look at several factors in tire defect cases, such as proper adhesion techniques
of the manufacturer, foreign objects in the tire, and the inclusion of an extra
nylon safety belt in the tire to help prevent tread separation. If you or someone
you love has been in an accident due to a blow out or tire defect you need the help
of skilled McAllen auto accident injury attorneys. The attorneys at Carabin & Shaw,
PC are experienced in all aspects of tire defect and product liability cases. Contact
our offices today to discuss your situation.
Tires are not the only areas of product liability in motor vehicles. Manufacturers
are responsible for the safety performance of their vehicles even if they claim
they have taken the necessary steps to assure safety. With the guidance of skilled
McAllen auto accident injury attorneys manufacturer liability can be determined
for your case. In product liability cases the claimant need not prove the carelessness
of the manufacturer rather only the faultiness of the product in question. Three
conditions must exist to prove the liability of the manufacturer for the accident:
- An unreasonably dangerous defect in the vehicle caused injury to you as a passenger
or driver.
- The defect caused injury to you while the vehicle was being used in a way that it
was intended to be used.
- The vehicle has not been substantially altered from its original condition when
sold.
McAllen auto accident injury attorneys will look at these three areas in you case
to determine if you have the right to a motor vehicle defect claim. The attorneys
at Carabin & Shaw are experienced in tire defect and motor vehicle defect claims.
