When an auto part fails, it can cause a crash at no fault of the driver. To find out if a parts manufacturer or service crew caused your wreck, speak with a Salt Lake City defective part accident lawyer.
In Utah, car accidents cause death and serious injuries to thousands of people each year. From minor injuries to serious debilitating trauma, victim’s lives are forever changed in a split second. Although many of these accidents are caused by driver error, there are a significant number of accidents that are caused by auto part defects and mechanical failure.
Accidents involving defective car parts can be devastating to victims and their families. It can be difficult to prove that the part’s failure caused the wreck and determine who in the supply chain was at fault. Defective parts and mechanical failure are often preventable if the car manufacturer, distributor, or retailer would have taken the proper safety precautions.
If you have been injured in an accident caused by a design or manufacturing flaw, a skilled Salt Lake City defective part accident lawyer can help prove your case.
Automakers and parts manufacturers have a duty to design and manufacture safe products. They must follow proper safety testing and regulations to prevent dangerous defects. Vehicles with design and manufacturing flaws can easily cause serious and fatal accidents to innocent people.
Consumers have a right to hold automakers accountable if negligence caused their accident or the wrongful death of a family member. A personal injury claim against the manufacturer can help you recover compensation for your injuries. It can also ensure the safety of millions of Americans with the same defect in their car by forcing the manufacturer to recall and fix the problem.
Most auto products on cars today are designed and tested for safety and pose no risk. However, sometimes products are not known to be defective until after they’ve been introduced into the marketplace.
To protect consumers, the National Highway Transportation Safety Association (NHTSA) enforces safety standards. Each year, millions of motor vehicles are recalled due to defects that pose safety risks. When a vehicle is recalled, the manufacturer is legally obligated to notify owners of the safety risk and must fix the problem at no cost to you.
Many different factors can lead to faulty parts such as the use of inferior materials, improper design, and lack of safety testing. Sometimes profits are more important than safety to large corporations, leading to a failure to either properly test parts or cover up evidence of the defect.
In cars and trucks, there are many potential manufacturing defects that can cause auto wrecks, including single-car accidents:
