Defective Automobile Lawsuit Attorneys

The attorneys at Estey & Bomberger are serious about helping victims injured by dangerous and defective automobiles. When auto manufacturers make and sell cars that are defective, and these defects result in serious accidents, catastrophic injuries, or even death, these companies may be held liable. The lawyers at Estey & Bomberger handle two types of auto defect cases: (1) incidents where a car defect causes the driver to lose control of a vehicle resulting in a collision or vehicle rollover; and (2) incidents where a vehicle fails to provide reasonable protection to drivers and passengers in the event of an accident. The latter type of case may be referred to as a crashworthiness case. In such cases, the plaintiff (injured victim) must demonstrate:

1) the automobile had a defective condition that made it unreasonably dangerous when it left the control/possession of the automaker;

2) the defective condition of the automobile enhanced the injuries the victim suffered in the collision or rollover; and

3) the automobile was being used in a foreseeable manner at the time the victim suffered his or her injuries.

Types of Automobile Defects

Anything that can malfunction or fail in an automobile and cause threat of injury or death to passengers and others on the road is considered an auto defect. Examples of automobile defects include:

Airbags that fail to deploy
Brakes that fail
Cruise control switches that cause vehicle fires
Gas pedals that stick
Gas tanks that easily ignite
SUVs that are rollover prone
Seat backs that collapse in a collision
Seat belts that fail
Tires tread that separates.
Tire stem valves that leak.

Defective Automobile Recalls

Each year, millions of automobiles are recalled due to safety issues and defects. It is unfortunate that a lot of recalls are necessary because a company is more concerned about their own profits than the safety of the people that purchase their cars. When a car is recalled, the manufacturer is legally obligated to attempt to notify you of the recall and to fix the problem or defect at no cost to you. Although most recalls last as long as the product exists, for tire recalls, the repairs must be made within a specific period of time, usually 60 days. You can search for recalls of your vehicle by visiting safercar.gov.
