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. Call our
