Pennsylvania Traffic Accident Attorneys
Pennsylvania Auto Product Liability
As consumers, we have the right to purchase products that not only perform as promised, but are safe to use as well. This notion is never more important that when it comes to auto products. Weighing thousands of pounds and traveling at great speeds, cars and trucks are already inherently dangerous when misused, but even more unpredictable and dangerous is a defective auto part suddenly malfunctions.
As is highlighted by Toyota Motor Corporation's recent vehicle issues, auto product liability can lead to vast numbers of injuries, may result in millions of vehicles having to be recalled, and greatly increase the likelihood that a motorist may lose control of their vehicle and become involved in a traffic accident. Some of the more common forms of auto product liability involve:
- Defective tires, possibly even those that have been rethreaded
- Faulty brakes or brake pads that fail to perform as expected
- Electronic system control malfunction that could result in any number of vehicle problems, such as unintended acceleration issues
Auto manufacturers have a hefty responsibility to ensure that quality control measures are up to par, that vehicle purchasers are not unreasonably placed in harm's way while operating their vehicles, and that all necessary precautions have been taken to ensure the safety of not only the vehicle owner but all other motorists on the road. Unfortunately, auto product liability plays a contributing factor in auto accidents each and every year in Pennsylvania. However, injured motorists do have legal recourse, and the first step in holding negligent auto product manufacturers accountable for their actions should be to retain the services of an experienced product liability attorney in Pennsylvania who will hold those manufacturers accountable for their actions.
