Defective Tire Cases

The ability of a driver to control an automobile may be dramatically affected if the tires suddenly fail. Depending on the severity of the tire failure, an individual may suffer a catastrophic loss of control that leads to an accident. Vehicles with a higher center of gravity — such as trucks, vans, and SUVs are especially prone to rollover accidents in the event of a tire failure. A lawsuit against Firestone for a series of tire failures in 2000 that were found to be the cause of SUV rollovers was settled in 2005 for $240 million. If you or a family member has been injured because of a defective tire or other product defect, you may be eligible for financial compensation.

Defective Airbag Cases

When airbags work properly after an automobile accident, they serve as an effective safety system. In fact, airbags have saved thousands of lives since its introduction. Unfortunately, airbags have also caused serious injury and death as a result of design and manufacturing defects. Manufacturers and designers of first-generation airbags failed to take into account and warn customers about the power of airbags. As a result, many unfortunate and preventable injuries and deaths occurred to children and petite individuals following an automobile accident. Many people still drive cars with older generation airbag systems, and despite improvements, modern airbags still have the potential to cause harm. Among the injuries an individual can suffer from an airbag are fractured bones, eye damage, and traumatic brain injures.
