- Structural Integrity: Every vehicle sold in the United States must meet federal crashworthiness guidelines, which define the safety standards for your automobile.
- Airbag Issues: Common issues related to airbag defects include failure to deploy and an airbag that spontaneously deploys.
- Rollovers: A vehicle's high center of gravity and narrow wheelbase cause rollovers. Rollovers are more common in SUVs and vans.
- Roof Crush: Automakers should design roofs that protect against roof collapse and separation.
- Seatbelt Issues: Seatbelt spooling, lap belts, automatic belts, and latches are common types of seatbelt defects.
- Door Failure / Latch Failure: A defective door may open during a rollover or other accident, tossing the occupant out of the car.
- Fuel System Fire / Explosions: Faulty gas tank design and placement can cause a vehicle fire following an accident.
- Occupant Ejection: An improperly designed vehicle can eject an occupant out of the car during an accident.
- Seat Failure: A seatbelt and child safety seat will prove useless if a seat back fails during an accident.
- Truck Under-ride Accidents: These accidents occur when a car crashes underneath the trailer of a semi. We represent people in claims against truck drivers and trucking companies.
