The Manufacturer’s Obligation to Consumers
An accident caused by another driver’s negligence is not grounds for an auto product liability claim. In order to pursue legal action against the auto manufacturer, you must be able to show that the company’s defective car part or design flaw directly contributed to or caused your car accident.
Over the years, Ashcraft & Gerel has handled defective auto product claims involving:
- GM ignition switch defects
- Defective Takata airbags
- Defective Toyota brakes
With this experience under our belts, we stand ready to represent you in your own auto product liability claim. All carmakers are expected to sell vehicles that are proven to be safe. Any failure to meet these expectations can and should be seen as negligence.
Car part defects are often caused by:
- Manufacturing errors
- Dangerous designs
- Errors during shipping or distribution
- Failure to adhere to safety protocols when testing vehicles
- Failure to include adequate safety warnings
