Examples of Automotive Defects

Though almost any automotive component could conceivably be defective, faulty tires are the most notorious for causing car accidents, injuries, and wrongful deaths. In poorly manufactured tires, the belts may slip or separate, causing the tire to rapidly lose air and the vehicle to flip and roll.

Safety restraint malfunctions are also a risk. Improperly installed seat belts occasionally detach when strained, freeing passengers to then be thrown around the vehicle or ejected through a window. Malfunctioning airbags may deploy too late or not at all. This is particularly a risk if the airbags have not recently been checked or serviced.

In some automobile crashes, defective fuel lines rupture. Though rare, these defects can be catastrophic, causing serious burn and explosion injuries. A product liability lawyer can look into each of these different automotive defects and help you receive the compensation you deserve. We know the laws and your rights in Missouri and Illinois.

Automotive Defect Injuries and Damages

Because motor vehicles travel at such high speeds, even minor defects can lead to very serious accidents and injuries. A product liability attorney’s job is to hold automotive manufacturers responsible in court, claiming compensation for medical care, disability, disfigurement, pain, suffering, and other car accident-related costs.

At Fox, Goldblatt & Singer, P.C. in St. Louis, we take this responsibility very seriously. Your defective product lawyer will work diligently to investigate all aspects of your crash, relying on the latest techniques and best experts available to strengthen your case.
