According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), automobile manufacturers have been asked to recall more than 46 million tires, 390 million vehicles and 66 million auto components since 1966. While measures have since been taken to improve the overall safety of motor vehicles, defective auto parts still can, and do, make their way into cars, trucks, motorcycles and ATVs. For this reason, the Montgomery personal injury attorneys at Morris, Andrews, Talmadge & Driggers, LLC encourage you to take a closer look at the cause of your accident if you were recently involved in a motor vehicle collision.
Per Alabama law, you would be entitled to compensation if you could prove that your vehicle was dangerously designed and/or comprised of defective auto parts—whether it is a car, truck, motorcycle or all-terrain vehicle (ATV). As a consumer, you are entitled to reasonably safe products; if an auto manufacturer has breached this duty of care, you should not hesitate to hold them accountable. By filing a product liability lawsuit against the vehicle’s manufacturer, the part’s manufacturer and/or anyone else that was involved in the chain of distribution, you can seek rightful compensation for the preventable harm that you have suffered.
Some of the most common instances of auto product liability include:
- Tires that are prone to blowouts
- Seatbelts that unlatch during an accident
- Insufficient roll bars, side rails & support pillars
- Windshields that lack necessary strength
- Gas pedals and brake pads that stick
- Airbags that do not deploy during an accident
- Door latches that pop open in an accident
- ATVs that are prone to rolling over
