Even the most skilled driver can get into a traffic accident. It’s not always your fault. Cars are complex machines full of hundreds of different parts and, sometimes, those parts fail. Despite proper maintenance and the utmost care, some accidents just can’t be prevented by you. So who is at fault?
Car manufacturers have a responsibility to make sure that the parts in your car don’t break when you least expect them. In fact, everyone along the supply chain—from the manufacturer that makes your car to the dealer that sells it—has the same duties. If they’re found to be negligent in their duty, knowingly or unknowingly, directly or indirectly, then you could have a strong claim.
In the event of a crash, even one that’s entirely the driver’s fault, the manufacturer also has a responsibility to ensure that their safety features work properly. If the injuries that you sustained could have been lessened by functioning parts, no matter who caused the accident, then you’ve also got a strong claim.
As with any torts and liability claims, there are a number of different factors that influence whether or not you’re eligible for compensation. To help you steer through this complex topic, we’ve prepared the following infographic. If you’re still unsure about your accident, call us at (713) 574-5089 any time for a free consultation!
