Nobody hops in their car expecting that a serious defect could endanger their life. The truth is that there are thousands of moving parts in a vehicle, and defects or malfunctions can cause accidents and injuries in many different ways. At Williams Hart & Boundas, some of the most common car defect/malfunction cases we handle include:

• Defective airbags: Airbags may fail to deploy during a car accident, resulting in severe injuries to the driver and passengers.
• Defective seat belts: Faulty or poorly designed seat belts may fail to work as intended, causing preventable injuries.
• Roof crush: Poor vehicle designs in roof structures may fail after a rollover accident and crush the victims inside.
• Fuel system defects: Defective fuel systems may stall vehicles on the road, leaving them vulnerable to being struck by other cars or trucks.
• Defective brakes: When brakes fail to work, they may result in rear-end collisions that leave victims injured.
• Defective headlights: If a driver is on the road at night and the headlights on his or her vehicle go out, it can be hazardous for the driver and other vehicles on the road.
• Loss of power steering: A sudden loss of power steering poses a serious risk to drivers as they are not able to properly operate and steer the vehicle.
• Fire Hazards: Leaking gas tanks or faulty electrical wires in your vehicle can pose fire hazards to you and your family.
• Unsafe vehicle design: A poorly designed vehicle may cause injuries or death to drivers in the event of an accident. There is an industry safety standard in the United States, and when manufacturers fall short of this standard, they need to be held accountable.​

Vehicle companies and part manufacturers in the United States and around the world have a duty to ensure that their products work appropriately and keep drivers safe on the road. When vehicles malfunction due to defective parts, you have a legal right to hold these manufacturers liable for damages including:

• Medical expenses
• Property damage
• Lost wages
• Pain and suffering
• Wrongful death

The compassionate attorneys at Williams Hart & Boundas are ready and able to provide you with legal representation to hold these companies accountable for the injuries that you or your loved ones have suffered.
