Fort Myers Defective Product Lawyer Holding Manufacturers Liable for Accidents Caused by Automobile Defects in Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Port Charlotte and Naples
An automobile defect may cause a crash or exacerbate injuries resulting from a collision. In both these scenarios, the manufacturer of the faulty part is liable. In the immediate aftermath of a crash, you may not realize that an auto defect played a role in your injuries. Often, the defect is not obvious and the manufacturer has taken steps to conceal the problem from the public. This is why you should seek legal counsel with an experienced Fort Myers defective product lawyer as soon as practicable.
The Spivey Law Firm, Personal Injury Attorneys, P.A. considers each accident from many angles, including products liability. We consult with renowned auto engineers and auto industry experts who assist us in identifying defects in the vehicle. We review records of auto crashes involving the same models or parts to determine whether patterns emerge. We also remain up-to-date on the latest news and recall announcements so we can immediately take action if your car was amongst those under investigation.
Our firm founder and president, Randall L. Spivey, has over two decades of experience and Florida Board Certification in civil trial, an honor that requires substantial practice experience, referrals from colleagues and a rigorous exam. We draw on our credentials to fight for our clients’ rights and to force manufacturers to put the safety of consumers first. Call (888) 477-4839 for a free consultation today.
Recall of Defective Vehicles
Under our current system, manufacturers are responsible for producing safe vehicles, for notifying the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) about problems that they discover and for recalling unsafe vehicles and/or parts. However, this system is severely flawed. The costs of disclosing safety problems and issuing recalls are enormous. Therefore, auto manufacturers often weigh the risks of being caught with the costs of protecting the public. Furthermore, consumers may not know that their vehicle make and model is under recall and may not have access to repairs once they do learn of the auto defect.
Our attorneys scrutinize the recall process of the vehicle manufacturer. We review evidence to answer whether the automaker:
- Created the defect as a cost-saving measure, despite evidence of safety risks
- Discovered the dangerous condition caused by its product
- Immediately notified vehicle owners about the danger
- Recalled the vehicles in a timely manner and provided access to quick repairs
- Concealed information that would have disclosed the defect and risk of harm
Defects in Automobiles
Our law firm has the resources and experience to pursue complex litigation against multinational auto manufacturing corporations, including class actions or multi-district litigation. We determine whether you are best served by bringing your claim as an individual plaintiff or a class. We can handle all types of automobile defect claims, including:
- Ignition switch failure (General Motors)
- Defective airbags (Takata)
- Keyless fob carbon monoxide poisoning
- Tire failure
- Fire risks
