Georgia Defective Car Equipment Attorney

Defective car equipment can cause serious injuries and even death; therefore, car manufacturers have a duty to design and produce vehicles that keep drivers and passengers safe. A Georgia defective car equipment attorney can help families who have lost a loved one because of malfunctioning vehicle parts.

Vehicle accidents can occur when the design of a vehicle is defective or the materials used during manufacturing were faulty. Some companies, in an effort to increase their bottom line, do not spend the money needed to produce a safe piece of equipment. No matter the circumstances, you may be able to recover damages and obtain justice for your loss by filing a wrongful death claim against the manufacturer.

Seat belts, air bags, and brakes can all be defective if not designed, manufactured, or installed properly. In the event of an accident, these defective pieces of equipment can lead to serious consequences. Fuel system leakage and faulty tires are other commonly defective car equipment components.

Sport utility vehicles (SUVs) are known to be defective in design. These vehicles have a higher center of gravity than other vehicles, making them susceptible to rolling over during an accident. And, because SUVs do not have a roll bar, the roof can collapse during a rollover, which can seriously injure the vehicle occupants.

A defective car equipment lawsuit can be classified as a strict liability case, which means the plaintiff does not have to show that the manufacturer was negligent. Rather, the plaintiff must prove that the defective equipment led to the wrongful death of his or her loved one.
