Defective cars, trucks and SUVs kill thousands of Americans every year. Poorly designed vehicles are not crashworthy and may actually increase the chance of injury and death. To be crashworthy, a vehicle design must protect its occupants during an accident, crash or rollover. While technology exists to help manufacturers build safer cars and trucks, the auto industry often prioritize economics over vehicle occupant safety. Eyeing the bottom line, auto and truck makers omit or shortcut on important safety features including:

• Seat belts,
• Airbags,
• Head restraints and rests,
• Roof crush/rollovers,
• Side impact protection,
• Front and rear crumple and protection zones,
• Fuel system failures,
• Rollover protection,
• Door locks and latches including sliding and lift gates, and
• Laminated glass in windshields and windows.

When a vehicle manufacturer designer, manufacturer or distributor fails in their duty to provide reasonably safe equipment when used as advertised, they are considered negligent under the law. Those injured or the families of those killed in accidents caused by the negligence of others are entitled to file a civil action suit against those who caused them harm. Compensation for damages may include medical expenses, lost income, property damage, and pain and suffering. Proving negligence takes an investment of time, experience and resources - advantages that only a qualified attorney can provide.

Auto and truck defect cases are often the hardest cases to win since victims are facing multi-million or billion dollar opponents who have the resources and finances to defend themselves against legitimate charges. In cases involving a products defect, the fight is often a battle of the experts and the discovery of evidence that proves there was a problem or defect on the part of the defendants. Hiring an attorney with a proven track record and a willingness to take on the big corporations is the first step in the battle.

If you have been injured or are the survivor of an auto or truck defect-related death, you may be entitled to file a claim against the manufacturers for damages. To win your claim, you will need the help of a firm equipped to take on the "big guys". Call the offices of Gary C. Johnson, P.S.C. today at (800)337-4002 or contact us via our contact form.
