147 North Broad Street Tel: 877.877.2122  Auto DefectsDefective Motor Vehicle EquipmentManufacturers are Liable for Injuries Due to Auto DefectsLawyers at our Milford, Connecticut, law firm have successfully recovered large settlements and verdicts for our clients in individual claims and class actions involving defective SUV design, SUV rollover, defective tires, and other dangerous vehicles and automobile equipment. When prosecuting these complex and challenging cases they provide representation that demonstrate a high level of legal skill and experience, and is supported by outstanding technical experts and support staff. If you were injured, or lost a family member in a fatal accident caused by a poorly designed sport utility vehicle or a defective seat belt, airbag, tire, or other equipment, the manufacturer and distributor are responsible for your loss. Before accepting any settlement, it is wise to get a well-qualified legal opinion of your case. Contact our office if you would like to have one of our personal injury lawyers with specific experience with auto defect claims review your claim. This consultation is free, and will provide you with the information you need to make a decision on how to proceed. Our attorneys have handled class actions against Ford and Firestone for the sale of Ford Explorers equipped with Firestone tires. Factors that contributed to the hazardous tire and SUV combinations included poor design, cost-cutting manufacturing processes, and the large number of vehicles with the dangerous tires that are still on the road. Recall and replacement offers were eventually made. The tires have contributed, along with the unstable design, to SUV rollovers, blowouts, and tread separations that caused drivers to lose control of the vehicles. Every day in the news we hear of more safety recalls due to newly admitted defects in auto equipment. Our attorneys have seen evidence that a recall is often issued only after deaths or serious injuries have occurred. A recalls or product liability claim may involve a failed or faulty ignition, seat belt, or airbag, a fuel tank explosion, a sidewall failure (zipper failure), or a manufacturer defect that affects crashworthiness in a car accident. Have you been misled by an automobile sales representative or leasing company in leasing a car? Our lawyers handle individual and class action consumer fraud claims involving automobile sales and finance.
