Was your injury caused by a defective vehicle? That’s outrageous – and we can hold the manufacturer accountable. Let our Riverview auto product liability lawyers fight for maximum compensation!
The overwhelming majority of the time, people are injured on the roads due to driver error – either their own error or someone else’s. Distracted driving, speeding, and carelessness are just some of the dangers that you face (and may unfortunately regularly encounter) when you drive, but you expect the danger to be outside your car – not inside it. Unfortunately, there are some cases when auto manufacturers cut corners and don’t produce safe vehicles or vehicle parts.
Recently, for example, Toyota issued a “Do Not Drive” advisory recall to over 50,000 car owners because the recalled vehicles contain a potentially deadly air bag that could explode. Takata, the company who produced the air bags in those vehicles, used volatile ammonium nitrate, which can explode and send shrapnel flying. At least 26 people have been killed in the U.S. by Takata inflators since May 2009, and 400 injured.
Maybe it’s an air bag that was defective; maybe it was a sunroof, or a seatbelt, or any number of things. If something in your car didn’t function as it should, and it either led to an accident where you were injured or didn’t protect you from an accident and led to your injuries being worse than they would have otherwise been, we can help! Trust The Florida Law Group to fight for your rights. You likely have a claim for monetary compensation; we can explain your options and guide you through the process. You don’t have to pay us any legal fees until we win!
Examples of auto product liability claims
Florida operates under a strict product liability law. That means that all you have to prove is that the car or part was defective and was the cause of your specific injury (which our Riverview auto product liability lawyers can help you do, using evidence such as your medical bills and expert witness reports) in order to be owed damages by the manufacturer. Because vehicles are mass produced, it’s likely that you’re not the only one who has had this issue and there may be many more people in your shoes. You may be able to join them in a class action lawsuit against the manufacturer; The Florida Law Group can offer legal advice and guidance if that is available to you.
You may have an auto product liability claim (citing a defective part or a dangerous design) if…
- Your vehicle rolled over
- Your tires blew out (and this has happened before)
- Your motorcycle “wobbled” at a higher speed
- Your airbag didn’t deploy on time or at all, or deployed when an accident wasn’t happening
- Your seat belt failed
- Your vehicle’s roof was crushed
- Your accelerator pedal got stuck
- Your vehicle’s door got stuck
- Or if anything else happened where a safety feature didn’t protect you as intended or a normal function of the vehicle did not perform as expected, and led to your injury.
Why choose our Riverview auto product liability lawyers to represent you?
Being injured in an accident caused by a negligent manufacturer is a devastating experience, and an expensive one. You may have to pay for costs related to hospitalization, surgery, imaging tests, physical therapy, rehabilitation, medications, medical devices, and more, and you may have to miss out on weeks or months of pay if you have to take time off work to recover. Some injuries may be permanent, causing you chronic pain and necessitating lifelong medical care.
When your injuries weren’t your fault, you shouldn’t shoulder the costs of the resulting bills. However, sometimes manufacturers are hesitant to admit wrongdoing or negligence even if the incident was clearly their fault. That’s why having great legal representation is so important! The Florida Law Group’s Riverview auto product liability lawyers can investigate your case and make a strong claim for the full amount of compensation your injuries are worth. We’ll handle all of the communications and paperwork for you so you can focus on resting and healing! Our team will fight for justice.
We have recovered over $1 billion on behalf of our clients. Our results speak for themselves! We charge on a contingency fee basis, which means you don’t owe our legal fees until we win your case.
