Toronto Personal Injury Lawer Blog - Findlay Law

If you have suffered an injury caused by a defective car, you may have a product liability claim along with an automobile accident claim. Defective vehicle accidents result in over 42,000 fatalities annually.

Automobile defects that have prompted lawsuits in recent years include, but are not limited to, sports utility vehicle rollovers, tire failures, seat belt failures, accelerator controls that stick, fuel system defects and wiring problems that result in fires. Defectively manufactured vehicles or vehicle parts may be a result of an error at the manufacturing facility. Vehicles with a dangerous design can also result in accidents and injuries.

Those liable for damages can include the manufacturer of the vehicle, the manufacturer of the parts, such as tires or seat belts, the car dealership, or the distributor of the parts.

The legal issues are complex as far as liability is concerned when an injury is caused by a defective vehicle or part. An experienced defective vehicle attorney will ensure you receive proper representation and fair compensation from the parties who are responsible for your injury.
