Car Defects Cause Car Crashes

Nashville Car Accident Lawyer Stanley A. Davis Will Make Manufacturers Pay

Proverbs tells us that the righteous care about justice for the poor, but the wicked have no such concern. If you were involved in a car accident that resulted from a defect or a maintenance problem, there is a very good chance that either a manufacturer or a dealer is not concerned with making proper restitution. However, Nashville car accident attorney Stanley A. Davis cares deeply about seeking justice for you and can help determine if a party was responsible for flaws in the design or manufacturing of a product as well as if a distributing party disregarded information about product flaws it had been privy to beforehand. This sort of apathy can cause a fatal car accident that destroys a family, but the Law Office of Stanley A. Davis can represent those harmed by such automobile defects as:

• Airbag failure. While these devices have saved countless lives, airbags have also caused injuries by deploying too slowly, deploying with too much force, deploying when they shouldn’t or failing to deploy when needed.
• Brake issues. A manufacturer or repair service could be liable if your brakes had design flaws that caused them to wear out too fast, loose pedals that did not allow the driver to stop the vehicle or just poor maintenance with improper repair.
• Child car seats. Possible flaws include failure to latch to the base, improperly built safety harnesses, insufficient padding, separation of cushions or the use of flammable materials.
• Door latch defects. Poor design, mechanical problems or incorrect installation of door latches could lead to the latch not completely closing when the door is shut, inability to handle a certain level of force or the latch system simply being outdated.
• Fuel systems. These can cause accidents when a fuel tank system fails to withstand cracking, has leaking defective fuel lines or anti-siphoning device defects allow gas leakage following a car crash.
• Glass. The tempered glass of the front windshield, back windshield, side windows or sunroof can be subject to induced or residual stress worsened by improper manufacturing or installation.
• Seat backs. If a seat back is unable to maintain its upright position, the frame becomes deformed or the head restraint gets detached, a driver could get ejected from or trapped within the vehicle.
• Seat belts. A defective design can lead to seat belts unlatching in a car crash because of an inertial release, faulty retractor or belt tearing.
• Steering. A jammed steering lock, loss of power steering, damage in the mechanical steering linkage or other steering and suspension failures can significantly affect control and cause car accidents.
• Sudden unintended acceleration. Manufacturers often dismiss these instances as being driver error, but there is ample evidence of cases involving ergonomic design flaws, mechanical or electronic failures.
• Tires. Multiple aspects of the tire manufacturing process can lead to a car accident, including low-quality tire materials, bad curing processes or incorrect tire assembly.
