Seattle Auto Product Liability Attorneys
The death toll from auto accidents in the United States tops 40,000 every year. And every year that number continues to increase. Auto accidents and traffic collisions occur because of many reasons ranging from human error or lack of judgment to a dangerous condition on the roadway. But there are also numerous instances when auto accidents occur because of dangerous or defective auto products. An inherent product defect in the automobile could most definitely trigger a mechanical malfunction leading to a crash. In cases where a product defect causes a crash resulting in injuries or death to the vehicle's occupants, victims or families of victims are entitled to file a Washington auto product liability lawsuit against the manufacturer of the defective auto product.
The Tacoma auto product liability attorneys at the Bernard Law Firm have had a successful track record of representing and winning for clients who have suffered catastrophic injuries or deaths because of auto manufacturers' negligence. We help victims of unsafe auto parts recover compensation for injuries or wrongful death.
An auto product defect can occur as a result of a manufacturing defect, something that happens during the manufacturing process. It can also be the result of defective product design. When an auto product such as a seat restraint system is not designed properly, there is a good chance that it will fail in the event of a crash. Some of the types of Washington auto product defect cases we handle include:
- Seatbelt failure
- Roof crush accidents
- Defective tires and tire tread separation
- SUV rollover accidents (lack of stability)
- Seatback failure
- Defective airbags
- Defective gas tanks
- Steering defects
- Engine stalling or failure leading to a crash
- Automobile recalls
- 15-passenger van accidents
- Defective trucks or boats
- Motorcycle product defects
In many auto product liability cases, there are usually many legal areas that can be pursued such as auto accidents, wrongful deaths, injuries, pain and suffering, loss of wages and so on. However, these are complex cases that need the expertise and experience of a resourceful and competent legal team.
The Bernard Law Firm handles most Seattle auto product liability cases on a contingent fee basis. This means that we take a small percentage of a successfully won monetary settlement. We take no money before we have won a verdict or settlement for you. This ensures that consumers can hire reputed, experienced attorneys who can fight for their rights against high-powered legal defense teams that auto makers hire. The Bernard Law Firm's auto product liability attorneys always represent our clients' best interests.
