Manufacturer Liability & Defective Auto Parts

When an auto part has a manufacturing or design defect, it may not perform properly. For any auto part, this may be catastrophic. Although a window that will not roll down may not seem to be a serious issue, if a person was involved in an auto accident and needed to get out of the car, and the window was the only option, this faulty window mechanism may mean the difference between life and death for the occupant of the vehicle.

By law, manufacturers of consumer products are required to ensure their products are free from defects and work properly. If a product may be unsafe, a proper warning label and/or instructions should be included. Unfortunately, auto parts are designed, produced, and distributed that have design or manufacturing defects, putting the lives of everyone on the road at risk. When this occurs, the company responsible for creating or releasing the defective auto part may be held liable in civil court. An attorney can talk to you about what your claim may be worth and what company may be held accountable for your particular case.
