The Real Dangers of Defective Car Parts

Not all car accidents are the result of drivers not following safe driving practices or driving distracted. Other car accidents are defective car parts accidents. There are tens of thousands of these types of car accidents that occur every year. Many of these do result in serious injuries and fatalities.

Vehicles have numerous car parts that could fail unexpectedly and without warning when they are defective. Some of the more common ones that could result in an accident include:

• Defective Tires
• Defective Braking Systems
• Defective Steering Systems
• Defective Accelerators
• Defective Safety Systems

When an accident occurs from defective car parts, you could have legal grounds to seek damages against those at fault. Determining who is at fault will depend on the defective car part, who made it, and whether the auto manufacturer was aware of the defect.

The damages you could sue for may include medical bills, vehicle damages, and loss of wages. For further information about defective car parts and their dangers, we encourage you to continue reading and reviewing the following infographic.
