A car's safety systems begin with the assumption that there are going to be accidents. The question is, will the vehicle protect the driver and passengers? Or will safety components fail and cause serious injury or death?
At the law office of Joseph J. Reinke in Oklahoma City, our attorneys represent people injured in car accidents caused by all types of negligence. If your injuries were caused by a defective seat belt or other type of auto defect, you may be entitled to compensation from the manufacturer, even in cases where the accident was your fault. We offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case and your options.
Vehicle Defects and Auto Manufacturer Liability
There are many different kinds of auto defects that can cause serious injury and death in an accident that would otherwise result in only minor injuries or no injuries if the vehicle safety components worked as intended. Examples of vehicle defects include:
- Tires that blow out or delaminate
- Tire retreads that come apart on the road
- Brakes that fail to stop your vehicle
- Unintended acceleration
- Vehicle rollovers
- Gas tanks or fuel systems that explode or catch fire in an accident
- Defective air bag or seat belt
- Unintended wheel separation
- Uncrashworthiness (such as a roof that crushes in a rollover)
Our lawyers work with experts who can examine your crashed vehicle and determine if your injuries were caused or made worse by a defect in the vehicle's safety components. We handle auto defect cases on a contingency fee basis, so until and unless our attorneys win a favorable judgment or settlement in your case, you will not have to pay attorney fees.
