Tire and Automobile Defects Cause Accidents
Seguin Auto Accident Injury Attorneys
In order for Products Liability laws to apply, the product in question
must have been sold to someone at some point. You do not have to be the
person the product was sold to, however, to make a claim for injuries
due to a defective product. If you are a passenger in someone else’s
motor vehicle and your seat belt failed in an accident causing
unreasonable danger, you have the right to a product liability claim. In
short, anyone who could have been injured by a defective product has the
right to make a claim for damages as long as the product was sold to
someone at some point. If you or someone you love has been injured or
killed by a defective product, Seguin auto accident injury attorneys can
help you get the settlement you deserve.
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. Seguin 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
Seguin 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 Seguin 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.
Seguin 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. Call our offices today to discuss your
case. We work on a contingent fee basis, which means you don’t pay
unless we resolve your case. Call us immediately.
