What are some common auto defects?

The most common types of auto defects that you see on the highways are rollover cases. There's a lot of SUVs on the highways today, SUVs roll over easier than passenger cars although they don't necessarily have to, but you're going to see a lot of rollover cases. You're going to see a lot of tire tread seperation cases, where the tread comes off the tire, then causing a rollover accident. You'll see airbag cases, where airbags failed to deploy or deploy untimely, just because it deployes, it's got to deploy just right or you can be injured from your airbag. There are defective seatbelt buckles on the highway, you could feel like you or your family member is safely buckled up, get in a rollover accident, get ejected from the vehicle and seriously injured or killed. People will assume you were not wearing your seatbelt, but you were. Seatbelt buckles are known to come undone at times as well. Hi, my name's Brian Chase.

Are accidents from auto defects common?

Many times in auto accidents either the cause of the accident or the enhanced injury occurs as the result of the defective or faulty design of the vehicle itself. Unfortunately, most of the time that people are involved in single car accidents they have no idea the vehicle cause contributed to it. Many of these cases are never pursued. They never end up in the hands of lawyers. The thing to look for is, in SUVs, high center of gravity , the ability of the vehicle to roll over easily, such as the 15 passenger vans, failure of seatbelts, roof fall in event the vehicle rolls over, defective air bag - the air bag deploys but doesn't deploy at the appropriate time, protecting their occupant.

Why do auto defects still happen in cars today?

The reason auto defects still happen is corporations that manufacture automobiles continuosly put profit over safety. Its been a constant theme for decades. Even with all the advancements that we see, the technological advancements with regard to manufacturing, manufacturers make profits on cars when they are using a 20 or 30 year old platform. Even though you have a new body on the car, and it looks like you have a new car, often times behind the skin of that vehicle you're driving a 30 year old car. Hi my name's Brian Chase.

Are accidents from tire defects still common?

Tire defects are still a problem on roads in the United States today. They're hard to prevent against because tread separation just happens sometimes spontaneously. And no inspection of the tire by a lay person would really reveal that there's a risk of something happening. Once the tire fails, the vehicle is susceptible to going off the road, rolling over and causing serious, catastrophic injury to occupants or bystanders. I'm attorney Tom Kiley.

With respect to automobile safety, there are particular hazards that apply to children. They have to be restrained. Many times there are defective seat belts that upon impact release and the child is ejected from the vehicle.

Why are large passenger vans prone to accidents?

The most dangerous vehicle in my experience on the road today is surprising to most people. It's a fifteen passenger van. It has a high center of gravity and once it's loaded up with people and equipment, its handling characteristics change and in bad weather or emergency maneuvers, it can fishtail and roll over. When it rolls over, because its structure is very weak, the roof collapses. When this happens, the injuries can be devastating especially with fifteen people. You have brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, paralysis and death. Most people don't realize it - these vans are out they're. They're used by schools, sports teams, hotels, livery services. People ride in them every day and they're completely unaware of the magnitude of the injuries that can occur in one of these vans. I'm attorney Tom Kiley. I've been representing the seriously injured and their families in Massachusetts for over three decades.

What do I look for when hiring a product liability lawyer?

The right product liability attorney can seek justice for you. He will know how to use our laws and our civil justice system to hold companies that don’t care, accountable. A manufacturer who manufactures or distributes a product that’s defective, that presents a hazard or a significant risk of injury or death can be held accountable under our laws for manufacturing and selling such a product. This can involve a design defect, a manufacturing defect, or simply a failure to warn or instruct the user of the product, such as a parent, of the hazards involved if it’s not used appropriately. I’m attorney Tom Kiley. I’ve been representing the seriously injured, and their families, in Massachusetts for over three decades.
