Crashworthiness - Defective Vehicle
Design
Defective
automobile design can be a major contributing factor to the extent of
injuries sustained during a crash. It is the duty of the automobile
manufacturers to make their vehicles "crashworthy." Many times,
manufacturers are found to have put money ahead of safety and thereby
putting the passengers at an increased risk of injury or even death.
Crashworthiness examples
Heninger Garrison & Davis have successfully handled cases
involving the following types of vehicle defects:
- missing rear seat lap shoulder belts
- vehicle instability
- defective steering components
- defective seatbelts braking mechanisms
- defective air bags deployment design
- defective fuel tanks or placement
- defective roof crush resistance
- defective brakes
Automakers involved in Crashworthiness Lawsuits
Automotive crashworthiness cases are not limited to domestic vehicle
manufacturers. Foreign automobile manufacturers can also be held
responsible for the crashworthiness of vehicles sold in the USA. The
list of manufacturers includes:
- Daihatsu
- Daimler-Chrysler
- Ford
- General Motors
- Honda
- Mitsubishi
- Nissan
- Saturn
- Suzuki
- Toyota
 Automobile manufacturers are
required to design reasonably safe or "crash worthy" vehicles that
provide occupants protection from injury or death in the event of a
collision. When that protection fails, our attorneys will investigate
potential defects in a client’s vehicle to determine whether a product
liability claim can be pursued.
Your Crashworthiness Case in Good Hands
Automotive design, bio-mechanics, and
accident reconstruction are among the many technical issues involved in
cases of this type. Heninger Garrison Davis has successfully litigated
and resolved numerous "crashworthiness" cases involving various
automotive defects including vehicle rollover, occupant protection, and
fuel system integrity.
