Dangerous and Defective Products Cause Accidents
Laredo Tire Blowout Accident Lawyers
Defective and dangerous products are bought by the unsuspecting public everyday.
The makers of these products are liable for injuries people receive from defective
products whether the manufacturer knew of the defect when it was sold or not. Defects
often occur in the design or in the manufacturing process of the product. Some common
defective products include tires, SUV’s that rollover easily, seatbelt failures,
car roof crush, seat backs, and air bag non-deployment among many others. Lawsuits
are usually filed by the person injured by the product or a relative of someone
who was killed by a defective product. If you feel you may have a claim against
a manufacturer for a faulty or defective product seek the counsel of Laredo auto
accident injury attorneys immediately. The cases are often highly technical and
need the skill of Laredo auto accident injury attorney to insure you get the fairest
settlement possible for your claim.
The publicity of the Bridgestone /Firestone fiasco several years ago made many people
aware of the dangers of defective tires. Tire tread can separate, or blow out causing
certain vehicles such as SUV’s to rollover or lose control causing serious accidents.
What many do not know is that several tire manufacturers are guilty of making these
same types of defective tires. Laredo auto accident injury attorneys can help you
determine the fault of the manufacturer in tire defect cases. At Carabin and Shaw
PC, we look at several factors in tire defect cases, such as proper adhesion techniques
of the manufacturer, foreign objects in the tire, and the inclusion of an extra
nylon safety belt in the tire to help prevent tread separation. If you or someone
you love has been in an accident due to a blow out or tire defect you need the help
of skilled Laredo auto accident injury attorneys. The attorneys at Carabin & Shaw,
PC are experienced in all aspects of tire defect and product liability cases. Contact
our offices today to discuss your situation.
Tires are not the only areas of product liability in motor vehicles. Manufacturers
are responsible for the safety performance of their vehicles even if they claim
they have taken the necessary steps to assure safety. With the guidance of skilled
Laredo auto accident injury attorneys manufacturer liability can be determined for
your case. In product liability cases the claimant need not prove the carelessness
of the manufacturer rather only the faultiness of the product in question. Three
conditions must exist to prove the liability of the manufacturer for the accident:
- An unreasonably dangerous defect in the vehicle caused injury to you as a passenger
or driver.
- The defect caused injury to you while the vehicle was being used in a way that it
was intended to be used.
- The vehicle has not been substantially altered from its original condition when
sold.
Laredo auto accident injury attorneys will look at these three areas in you case
to determine if you have the right to a motor vehicle defect claim. The attorneys
at Carabin & Shaw are experienced in tire defect and motor vehicle defect claims.
