Defective Cars and Car Parts
Motor vehicle safety has increased for drivers and passengers but advances in technology do little if the components fail due to design flaws, manufacturing errors, or inadequate quality control.
Proving a manufacturer’s negligence requires finding the flaw in the technology. A defective vehicle attorney at The Law Firm of Ted B. Lyon & Associates has access to a network of experts and engineers skilled in analyzing faulty components and identifying product defects. Our job, then, is to build a case for a jury that clearly demonstrates the manufacturer’s liability.

Who or What Was at Fault in Causing the Accident or Injuries?
There can be more than one responsible party. That’s why automotive defect claims require a skilled and experienced attorney.
Often in product liability cases, the manufacturer will argue that it was the driver’s negligence that caused the injuries, rather than the defective part. Or they will blame the accident on another driver involved in the crash. They claim their defective part did not cause the crash (even if it worsened injuries).
It’s true that the driver of the car might have contributed to the accident, and another driver may have caused the car collision or truck crash. That does not mean that the defective car part or vehicle design did not contribute to the crash and the injuries.
The manufacturer might try to argue that the injured driver knew there was a problem with the car – with the ignition or the accelerator – but they drove it anyway.
Your defective vehicle parts attorney will talk with you about legal strategies to overcome these defenses. They may argue the case based on strict liability or on negligence of the manufacturer. They may argue there was a breach of warranty for the car part.
