Austin Recalled Automobile Injury Attorney Michael Grossman from Grossman Law Offices Discusses Defective Vehicle Lawsuits

In you have been hurt in a recalled automobile or due to a vehicle defect, you probably have many questions: how did this happen? Why was this defect not found during manufacturing or safety testing? Can I file an insurance claim? Do I need to file a product liability lawsuit? Should I hire an experienced product liability attorney to represent me?

In almost all cases, if you have been hurt due to a defective automobile (whether it was your vehicle or someone else’s), you have numerous options available to you for seeking compensation. However, product liability lawsuits (especially when filed against auto makers) are complex, and they should be left to an experienced attorney. Austin recalled automobile injury attorney Michael Grossman from Grossman Law Offices is here to illustrate what you are up against and why you should let our experienced firm fight for your rights.

What is a Product Liability Lawsuit?

Product liability lawsuits fall in one of two categories: claims based on negligence and claims based on strict liability. A claim based on negligence claims that a product was negligently designed or manufactured and that this negligence caused the plaintiff’s injuries. A product is negligently designed when the product designers do not ensure that their product is safe, and so there are inherent safety risks with the product, even if the product was manufactured according to specifications. An example of this type of negligence would be a car maker that puts the wrong tires on a particular model of car. Picking the right tire for a vehicle is extremely important, and when auto makers do not take the time to ensure that they have made the correct choice, their vehicles are not safe. If you are injured due to this form of negligence, you could file a product liability claim.

On the other hand, if a product was designed properly but the manufacturer was negligent, someone injured by the product could file a product liability claim against the manufacturer. This form of negligence could include using poor-quality materials or unsafe manufacturing techniques. For instance, making an error when building the electrical wiring of a car could cause the car to catch fire. If the car’s wiring was designed properly, then the manufacturer would be liable for these accidents and would be vulnerable to product liability lawsuits.

However, even if neither the vehicle’s manufacturer nor the vehicle’s designer was negligent, you may be able to seek compensation through a product liability claim. These types of claims are based on strict liability, which is a legal concept that holds product manufacturers liable for injuries caused by their products even if they were not negligent in the product’s design or manufacture. These types of claims do not argue that a car maker was negligent. Instead, they argue that the car maker was guilty by association with the product.
