Defects and Testing Technology

Sometimes, product liability claims are possible when a design defect leads to injury and harm. A design defect is connected to an issue with the car design itself being unreasonably dangerous. If the defect is due to a manufacturing defect, meaning the design is fine but the production of the vehicle led to harm, legal action could also be possible.

There have also been instances of auto manufacturers facing legal action because the technology they have added to their vehicles has not been tested adequately. For instance, if a company pushed technology into production in an effort to get the technology into vehicles before their competitors, and the lack of testing led to harm, they could be held accountable for accident injuries that were sustained.

Duty to Warn the Public

Additionally, product liability claims can move forward when car parts do not have the warnings required. If a company is aware of potential risks, they need to alert the public. Duty to warn is a legal obligation and if a company fails to do so, the car manufacturer could be held responsible. The user of a vehicle needs to be informed of dangers that are not immediately obvious.

Cases against car manufacturers need to be airtight. Car companies have skilled legal teams ready to fight their responsibility to pay for accident expenses, they could work to shift the blame onto driver behavior.
