Signs That A Vehicle Defect Contributed To Your Accident
Did A Defective Vehicle Cause or Contribute to Your Accident?
Car accident victims are often completely unaware that a defective vehicle or a defective part may have caused or contributed to their accident - and of course, car makers do not want to educate the public about this possibility.
However, consumers have a right to know. To that end, we offer the following indications that a defective vehicle or defective part might have been a factor in a vehicular accident:
· The vehicle rolled over.
· The vehicle roof is crushed, caved in, or collapsed.
· A fire or explosion occurred during or immediately following the accident.
· A tire blew out, separated or failed just prior to or during the accident.
· Car seats and car seat backs are not in their normal location or position.
· Doors, hatchbacks or tailgates came open during the accident.
· Occupants were thrown from the vehicle during the accident.
· One vehicle in the crash had significantly more severe damage than the other.
· The passenger area lost its integrity and did not adequately protect the
vehicle occupants.
· The steering wheel is bent, defaced or misshapen as is the air bag
compartment, indicating late deployment of the air bag.
· Air bags did not deploy, indicating a defective airbag.
If any of these conditions were present during your accident, a defective vehicle or defective part such as defective airbags or seat backs may have been involved.
