Liability in a Car Accident when a Car is Defective
Posted: Nov 23, 2009 |Comments: 0

The question of who is responsible for a car accident is asked hundreds of times a day all over the U.S. Whether a driver, manufacturer, repairman, or dealership is responsible for an auto accident must be determined by gathering information and evidence pertaining to the accident. Often, more than one person is responsible for an accident.
Dangerous automobiles can cause unnecessary injury in a car accident by failing to operate as designed, or by being poorly designed. Hundreds of accidents involving defective safety restraints and airbags that fail to deploy result in unnecessary injuries every year. Drivers and passengers who rely on the safety of their vehicle can even find themselves injured by a part of the car that reacts incorrectly or detaches in an accident.
Determining Defective Automobile Fault
To determine who is ultimately at fault for injury caused by a car accident, investigators and your attorneys will review the evidence and trace the contributing factors back to their origins. A manufacturer may be responsible if:
Parts of the automobile were poorly designed Sub-standard parts were used Sub-standard manufacturing practice was used Known defective parts were not recalled Safety equipment failed to deploy
A repair shop may be held responsible if the automobile part was incorrectly repaired or replaced, causing complications in the accident. In contrast, a dealer may be held responsible if information regarding a previous collision was not provided to the consumer, or if the dealer failed to replace recalled parts when notified of the recall.
Get Started Now
While defective automobiles cause injuries and wrongful death every year, the responsibility for those defects ultimately lies with a corporation or individual. Automobiles are required to pass certain safety regulations before they can be distributed in the U.S. market. If any car or truck fails to perform according to its safety testing and rating, an investigation into that failure is not only reasonable, but should become a priority for your safety and the safety of others who own the same model of automobile.
