We protect those who were injured in a Motor Vehicle Accident.

The news of a loved one's involvement in an accident comes as a hammer blow. Left with the nauseating aftermath of a lost life or terrible injuries, people ask themselves: Why did this happen? After a while, the shocked relatives of the victims start wondering what exactly caused the accident. Was it inevitable?

When more information becomes available about the circumstances of the crash, puzzling question marks arise, such as:

• Why did some occupants not suffer as serious injuries as others?
• Could the airbag have inflated before the crash?
• Why did the car roll-over at such low speed?
• Did the floor mat block the accelerator? 

It is not unusual to initially blame a car wreck on a driver mistake, only to discover upon closer examination that the crash could have been avoided or the damage reduced if the car or the car's components had worked properly.

Why are some motor vehicles unsafe?

What most people do not realize is that auto manufacturers have two major concerns-protecting their image and safeguarding their finances. This is why they will try to avoid bad publicity at all costs, refuse to recall and reengineer vehicles with major design flaws (such as roll-over prone SUVs), limit vehicle recalls to certain models when they should apply to other model vehicles as well, and accept as okay the millions of components made by third party suppliers. These are some of the reasons why, even if most vehicles are safe, everyday accidents occur that are caused or seriously aggravated by a design or manufacturing defect.

What can you do if the death or injuries of a loved one have been caused by a vehicle defect?

Lawsuits involving auto, truck, or recreational vehicle manufacturing and design defects are not for the average lawyer. Only a few law offices, such as the Dallas-based law office of J. Gregory Marks, are up to the task of fighting and winning cases against powerful companies determined to defend their image and finances. These cases require:
