Automotive Defects
“Our experienced trial attorneys work with a network of independent
auto safety and reconstruction experts to investigate and prepare the
strongest case possible for compensation from auto manufacturers.”
- Partner, Scott Nutter
Did a Seatbelt or Airbag Failure Cause Your Injury?
Accidents happen and most drivers will be in a car accident at some point in their lives. Cars are specifically required to include safety devices that protect drivers and passengers from injuries. Unfortunately, defective safety equipment and other automotive systems we rely on often fail.
If your family has been affected by a serious injury or wrongful death because of an automotive defect, talk to an experienced personal injury attorney right away. Police reports often focus on the result of the accident rather than the cause. You may be entitled to sue for significant damages against an auto manufacturer by proving that the injury or death resulted from a failed auto part.
