Defective Car Parts and Car Accidents

CAR ACCIDENT LAWYER

Have you ever received a notice in the mail about a recall of one of your car parts? If so, then did you get the part replaced per the letter’s instructions? These car part recalls are more common than you’d think, and they usually only occur after several people have reported problems with the part.

You don’t want to be one of the unlucky few that first realize a defective car part caused you to get into an accident. If you are, then you likely won’t know about the problem until after the accident happens and an investigation happens. What are some of the most common defective car parts, and who is liable for a defective car part accident? Get the answers below.

What Are Some of the Most Common Defective Car Parts that Cause Accidents?

Cars are made up of a lot of parts, and car companies are always testing newer technology on new vehicles, too. That leaves a lot of room for errors to occur. Here are some of the most common defective car parts that cause injuries during accidents:

  • Airbags that do not deploy during an accident
  • Defective seatbelts
  • Airbags that deploy unexpectedly
  • Airbags that deploy with too much force
  • Electrical defects that result in a fire
  • Unexpected acceleration
  • Collapsing roofs
  • Tire failure
  • Break failure

Do you suspect that a defective car part contributed to your car accident? If so, then you’ll want to start researching who is liable for your financial losses.

Who is Liable for a Defective Car Part Crash?

Car parts may be defective as a result of either a manufacturing error or a defective design. If the error happened during the manufacturing process, then the manufacturing facility will be held liable for your losses. If the car part was defectively designed, then the company that designed the car will be held liable.

Middlemen who sell or deliver these parts could also be held liable if they handled the product incorrectly and caused the defect.

If you suspect your accident was caused by a defective part, then it’s important to launch an investigation into the accident. An attorney can help you get started.
