Domestic and foreign auto manufacturers have a duty to the citizens of California and Nevada to design and manufacture safe vehicles - which includes vehicles that protect occupants in crashes. This means that all vehicles must be designed to be safe in foreseeable collisions and accidents. Automobiles must be designed to protect their occupants. This requirement is known as "crashworthiness". We have handled cases involving all of the following:

• Seat BeltsAirbags Glass Accelerators
• Seat BacksTires SUV Rollovers Brakes

When a car does not perform as safely as an ordinary consumer or user expects, and the occupant is hurt, not by the collision itself, but because of a design flaw in the vehicle, the manufacturer is liable for any increased or enhanced damages that occur.

Whether it be because your vehicle did not maintain its integrity during a rollover, its roof collapsed, its seat belts spooled out, or its brakes failed, or tire treads separated, we can help you hold the auto manufacturer has failed to produce and sell crashworthy car, truck or and SUV responsible.

In every automobile accident where there is serious injury, it is critical that your attorneys review the facts of the case, and where necessary consult skilled automotive engineers, to determine whether any design or manufacturing defect in a vehicle enhanced or worsened the injuries.

If you are in an accident and your injuries were exacerbated or worsened because of the failure of vehicle safety components, you have a product liability claim in addition to an automobile claim. We are skilled and experienced in the prosecution and investigation of these claims.
