Many motor vehicle manufacturers try to produce high quality products. However, some companies are more concerned about their profit than their responsibility to consumers. As a result they produce defective auto products.   

Manufacturers have a duty to make sure the products they sell to the public are safe. When the defect makes the product unsafe manufacturers may be held liable for any resulting injuries.

Defective auto products include tires, automobile seats, car parts, air bags, door latch, roof, fuel system car paint and safety belts. Instances of auto accident due to faulty auto products often hurt the wage earner who can’t work during their period of injury.

Automobiles can also suffer from manufacturing and design defects like all other products. Occasionally, a car manufacturer will recall or take back the defective auto products. Usually they’ll fix or replace the defective part free of charge.

A defective auto product claim can be brought against the manufacturer of the motorized vehicle product as well as the supplier, distributor or retailer of the product. The different types of product liability are faulty design of the product; defective manufacturing; and unhealthy marketing, including, improper labeling or instructions and lack of proper warnings on packaging With some exceptions, most product lawsuits must be filed with two years of the date of injury. Nevertheless, all cases should be investigated as soon as possible to properly preserve the evidence.

If you have been injured by a defective auto product you should contact a lawyer as soon as possible. A lawyer can help you recover for damages for the injuries you suffered; determine if the erroneous product may have contributed to your rollover accident or injury; provide experts who can examine the product and determine where and when the defect is; and recover any benefits that are due for injuries due to a defective auto product.
