Vehicle Defects

Automotive defects are responsible for a large number of injuries and wrongful deaths on the road. When something goes wrong in a vehicle traveling at high speed down a crowded interstate, the results are often devastating. The failure to provide adequate occupant protection for people in foreseeable accidents is appalling. The failure by manufacturers to reduce the severity of injury in accidents that they know will occur by applying safety engineering, providing better crash protection and better quality control makes them especially tragic. When individuals are injured due to automotive defects, an experienced product liability lawyer at in the Pennsylvania, New Jersey or New York Offices of the Locks Law Firm can offer the legal expertise necessary to hold wrongdoers accountable.

Types of Automotive Defects

A wide range of automotive defects can affect drivers. The following are among the most common: Airbag Failures, Child Restraint Defects, Crashworthiness, Roof Crush, Tire Failures and Vehicular Rollover.

Airbag Failures

In a car accident, airbags are one of the most important defenses for drivers and passengers. An airbag malfunction can cause devastating injuries and can be grounds for a defective product claim.

Child Restraint Defects

Child seat defects can contribute to catastrophic injuries, permanent disability, and even wrongful death. We will work with you to hold negligent child restraint manufacturers responsible.

Crashworthiness

A vehicle’s crashworthiness is its ability to protect its passengers in the event of a crash. When occupants are ineffectively protected during a crash, it may be that insufficient crashworthiness is to blame for their injuries.

Roof Crush

Roof crush is the failure of a roof to maintain structural integrity during the event of a rollover or crash.

Tire Failures

Tire failure can be the cause of a car accident or can exacerbate an accident. In either case, the defective design or manufacture of a tire can be grounds for a defective product claim.

Vehicular Rollover

If a vehicle’s rollover is caused by poor design or engineering, then this product defect may give rise to a defective product claim.

What Our Clients Say

I contacted Michael at Locks Law Firm and they continue to represent me in a great fashion. Very thorough, very professional, very caring, to the point where... they send attorneys to Florida to take depositions and to make it easier on me when I was really sick. During my career I've worked with a lot of law firms, a lot of attorneys, and they are one of the best I've ever worked with.

Everyone that I came in contact with during the course of preparation for my case was just outstanding. [It's] hard to find words to express how they cared for us and how they were right there for us every step of the way and they left no stone unturned.

I had spoken to several lawyers and they said it would be a difficult case. One of them referred me to...the Locks Law Firm. [Their] staff worked really hard to find the medical literature and the experts to prove our case...Locks Law Firm won our case with very good results.

The out-of-court settlement... has helped me with other surgeries that I have had, medical expenses, medication, and it will help me to be comfortable for the rest of my life... I did feel like I was a part of the family. I have never seen anyone fight so hard for me. At first, I was a complete stranger, and now we are friends until this day.

Thank you once again Janet! We appreciate all the Locks Law Firm has done and continues to do for their clients despite the obstacles associated with these cases.
