Defective Auto Part Car Accidents

Far too many people assume that their auto wreck must have been caused by a negligent or careless driver. However, some car accidents involve several different factors – and some of those factors may not be readily apparent even to those injured in the wreck. For example, each year a significant number of traffic accident injuries and fatalities are caused by mechanical problems, defective auto parts, and poorly designed vehicles.

Some of the most common vehicle defects include:

• Defective accelorators
• Defective brakes
• Defective tires and tire treads
• Defective seatbelts and restraint systems
• Defective airbags
• Dangerous car design (such as SUVs prone to rollovers)

Since 1966, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has recalled more than 390 million motor vehicles for safety related defects. That number soars even higher when you consider the millions of smaller auto parts that have been recalled in recent years. These safety defects cause serious motor vehicle accidents in Texas every year and cause many serious car accident injuries that could have and should have been prevented.

There may be little a driver can do to stop an accident from occurring if a vehicle malfunctions while on the road. Even the most skilled driver may be injured serious accident through no fault of his own. In those cases, the vehicle manufacturer may be legally responsible for the damages caused in the accident.

When is a Vehicle Defective? And Who Is Responsible?

Vehicle defects are defined by federal law – specifically by the United States Code for Motor Vehicle Safety (41 USC 301). According to the legal definition, a vehicle defect:

• May be in the design, construction, or performance of the motor vehicle;
• Most pose an unreasonable risk of injury or death; and
• May exist in a group of vehicles of the same design or make.

Generally, whoever caused the defect has a responsibility to fix or replace your vehicle if the vehicle is defective – usually, this is the manufacturer. If the manufacturer has not adequately fixed the safety defect prior to your accident or was negligent in their response to the defect, then you may be entitled to damages. A dangerous vehicle defect may reveal itself in a number of ways: your tire tread separates while traveling on the interstate, your SUV rolls over suddenly when you are maneuvering your vehicle, your airbag never deploys when you are involved in a collision.
