Brooklyn Attorneys for Auto Product Recall Lawsuits

Relentless Attorneys Serving Brooklyn

Sometimes a car accident happens because the vehicle was unsafe to be on the road due to a manufacturing defect in its design and structure. A defect in a car can either cause an accident or, if there is a defect in a safety feature, it can worsen a person’s injuries when they are involved in an accident. If you were hurt in a car accident because your car is defective, you should speak to a Brooklyn lawyer at Belushin Law Firm that handles defective car lawsuits.

Car Fires From Faulty Design Structure

One of the dangerous ways that a car can be defective is in the design or manufacture of a car that creates an unnecessary fire hazard. If there is a high probability of fuel leakage in an accident, there is a chance that a dangerous car fire or explosion could occur. Some faulty design of vehicles could cause a car fire without any impact, either when the car is in motion or is in a hot environment. Car fires and explosions can be deadly to the occupants of a defective vehicle. If you or someone you love have been injured in a car accident that was made worse by a car fire or explosion, you may be able to file a claim against the manufacturer of the defective car or truck.

Mechanical Issues Warranting a Recall

Manufacturers of cars and trucks often have to initiate car recalls because there are mechanical problems with vehicles that cause accidents. These types of defects include gas pedals sticking, faulty steering mechanisms, brake failure, wheel or axle failure, and many other types of mechanical failures, like in recent Toyota Prius lawsuits. These defects are especially dangerous because they can actually cause the driver of the vehicle to lose control, thus causing serious injuries to the driver and other unsuspecting drivers on the road.

These defects can be deadly not only to the owner of the vehicle, but to any occupants of a car that is struck. The victims of these accidents deserve Toyota lawsuit settlements for their injuries from the company that made the defective product. If you or a loved one were involved in an accident that was caused by a defect in a vehicle, you should speak with an attorney about filing a car recall lawsuit.

Faults in Safety Features

Vehicles can also have faulty safety features, which can cause death or serious injury to the occupant of a car when it is involved in an accident. Features like seatbelts, airbags, windshield wipers, and headlights and directionals all need to be working properly to keep drivers safe. Any defect in a safety feature can cause serious injury or even death to the occupants of a vehicle.
