When the Safety Features You Count On Malfunction or Don't Work…

Seat belts, air bags, and roll bars are relied upon for increased safety in automobile accidents, and drivers and passengers expect them to work at these critical times. Defective seat belts and air bags can allow or cause catastrophic or serious injury, such as neck injuries, head injuries, spinal cord injuries, or traumatic brain injuries (TBI).

Helping You Get Compensation for Injuries from Car Defects

Our law office can help you recover compensation for your injuries. We can effectively handle products liability cases involving the following car defects:

• Defective seat belt
• Defective air bag
• Defective tires
• Defective roll bars
• Defective roof design in a van or SUV

In some cases, multiple defects are discovered in a car or truck accident. Certain SUV's or 15-passenger vans have a tendency to rollover when turning. Certain vehicles have weak roof structures that allowed the roof to crush in a roll over accident.

If a loved one died in an auto or truck accident because a safety device did not function properly, we can help you file a wrongful death claim to get compensation for your loss.
