What happens if I crash because of a problem with my car?

Most car accidents happen because a driver does something wrong. However, some car crashes and wrecks are caused because an auto manufacturer makes a mistake. When an auto makers makes a mistake in design or production, the results can be deadly. As an example, you need look no further than the news stories regarding Toyota's sudden acceleration problems, Chrysler's seat back issues, Honda's airbag recall, and the Ford and Firestone tire recall and roll-over accidents. The history of vehicle accidents caused by companies not living up to their commitments to their customer's safety is as long as it is distressing.

In most cases, automobile defects should have been identified by the automobile company prior to manufacturing the product and releasing it to the public. However, once a defect is discovered some companies will go to great lengths to prevent public disclosure of the injuries and even deaths that are caused as a result of the defect.

If you have been injured as a result of defective vehicle, you need a lawyer that is well-prepared to handle such cases. The attorneys at Tronfeld West and Durrett are experienced in vehicle defect cases and vehicle safety standards.
