Motor Vehicles

We count on our cars and trucks to not only get us to our destination, but also to keep us safe in the event of a car accident. We trust that safety features like seat belts and airbags will protect us from being injured, and we take it for granted that our car or truck’s structure is sound. However, some vehicles are defective and can fail to properly protect passengers. Some vehicle defects can even cause car accidents, resulting in serious injuries or wrongful death.

The product liability attorneys of Guerra & Moore in McAllen, Texas are a team of experienced litigators who will help you get the compensation you deserve if you are injured because of a defective vehicle.

Dangerous Vehicle Defects

In the event of a car accident, your vehicle is subjected to extreme forces upon impact with another vehicle or object. Car and truck manufacturers are supposed to design vehicles that can withstand the extreme forces of a car accident and protect the passengers as much as possible. Motor vehicle defects that affect the vehicle’s structure and safety features are among the most dangerous defects.

  • Defective seat belts fail to restrain passengers during a car accident or may cause injuries themselves by cutting the skin or breaking bones in an accident.
  • Defective airbags fail to deploy in an accident or cause injuries from excessive force on opening.
  • Defective passenger seats may break or collapse during an accident, causing the passenger to fly backward or forward.
  • Defective gas tanks may not have sufficient protection, allowing gasoline leaks that can cause fires or explosions during an accident.
  • Defective tires may fail at high speeds because of tread separation or other issues, making the vehicle impossible to control.
  • Defective roofs may collapse during rollover accidents, causing passengers to be crushed.

If you have been involved in a car accident that may have been caused by a defective vehicle, our product liability attorneys can help you determine if you have a case.
