Design Defects Cause Single Vehicle Wrecks in Dallas, Texas

Design Defects Cause Single Vehicle Wrecks in Dallas, Texas

If you or someone you love was seriously injured in a single car accident and suffered serious injuries, you may be unfairly treated by the insurance company. After all, if there were no other vehicles involved in the collision, the assumption is usually going to be that the injured driver themselves was at fault. Maybe they were speeding, perhaps they were on their cellphone... Possibly even they were driving under the influence of alcohol when the crash occurred. While such wrecks are not uncommon in Dallas and throughout the DFW metroplex, any experienced Texas personal injury and wrongful death lawyer should be able to tell you that not all one car accidents are necessarily the fault of the driver – far from it.

A lot of the time, accidents are the result of a mechanical malfunction or design defect in the vehicle itself. A couple of years ago Toyota's reputation as producing some of the safest vehicles on the road was seriously compromised when they were forced to recall millions of cars due to a problem which meant the gas pedal would get stuck, causing the vehicles to accelerate. Talk about a safety hazard! The point is that your car crash could be the result of either poor design or a malfunction. It might be an issue which is restricted just to your particular vehicle, or it could be a line-wide issue like the Toyota problem which necessitated the global recall.

Regardless of the situation surrounding your crash, if you believe that a mechanical problem or design defect with your car, pickup truck or motorcycle was responsible for your wreck, then it is important that you consult with a Dallas auto accident and injury lawyer who is experienced in handling motor vehicle accidents and product liability cases. The personal injury and wrongful death attorneys at Guajardo & Marks in Dallas are experts in handling motor vehicle defect cases. We know that thanks to the auto manufacturer's focus on profits, safety is sometimes compromised. This is completely unacceptable and we are prepared to fight your case as aggressively as necessary to make sure that you get the full and fair compensation you are entitled to under Texas law.

There are two main types of motor vehicle defect cases: either there was a safety problem with the vehicle itself or else there was a problem with a component which was installed later, such as the tires. With any vehicle, there are a number of faults which may have caused the accident to occur in the first place. Similarly, any of these design faults or manufacturing problems could be responsible for exaggerating the injuries the driver and their passenger(s) sustained in the wreck. It is often necessary to speak with a lawyer to determine if any defect could be blamed for your injuries and if so whether a case can be brought against either the vehicle or independent component manufacturer.
