Auto Defects Litigation

 

Auto Defects can cause serious injury

For the most up to date recalls on vehicles, please visit InternetAutoGuide.com.

Usually, if you are the registered owner of your vehicle, you will get a recall notice when a manufacturer issues a recall on your vehicle or tires. But sometimes vehicle owners don't receive the auto recall notice. Maybe you've moved or you tossed your auto recall notice out thinking it was junk mail.

Defects that result in an auto recall can range from a minor mechanical defect like a glitch in a door lock to major defects such as defective axels. Sometimes an auto recall is for a simple nuisance while other recalls are truly safety hazards.

We have all heard of the recent Toyota Recalls that have swept the nation, with over 8 million cars world wide recalled for FAULTY BRAKES. Read more about the story here.

As products go, automobiles and other types of motor vehicles are similar to pharmaceutical drugs in many ways. For example, each new car or drug typically spends years in production before being introduced. The costs associated with this process can be enormous. In addition to that, once the product is finally ready to be made, tens of millions of dollars have to be spent on preparing the production facilities and a great deal more on advertising the product to a nationwide audience.

So, how do you think those companies feel when a few injuries or a few deaths here and there threaten that investment?

Auto defects litigation requires experience, patience and significant financial resources. It also requires a willingness to go toe-to-toe with some of the nation's largest manufacturers. Our attorneys have what it takes.

Find the Right Attorney for your Auto Defect Claim

Financial resources are an important issue to consider when you are looking for an attorney or law firm to represent you in auto defects litigation. In fact, one of the first things automakers and their insurers will do after someone files a lawsuit against them is find out whether lawyer or law firm filing the claim has the financial resources to take them on in court.

Our answer to them: We're ready! Over the last 15 years, our lawyers have obtained hundreds of millions of dollars in personal injury lawsuit verdicts and settlements on behalf of our clients.

The fact is, car companies sometimes sacrifice safety for profit. Releasing a product at a later date could mean losses, so sometimes corners are cut, and people are injured or even killed as a result.
