Defective Car Part, Such as a Seatbelt or Airbag?

Our DC and Boston Injury Attorneys Fight to Keep Cars Safe

For most people, the safety of a vehicle is an important consideration. One of the benchmarks of automobile safety is its crashworthiness, or how well a vehicle protects its occupants in case of an accident. Features contributing to crashworthiness include airbags, seatbelts, crumple zones and roll bars. There are two forms of crashworthiness: manufacturing defects like airbags that don’t work and design defects like a roll bar placed in the wrong location. A qualified Washington DC or Boston injury lawyer can help you determine if a design flaw caused your injuries.

Manufacturers are responsible for their vehicles being crashworthy, even if they are not aware of defects at the time of design and manufacture. If you were involved in a collision that was caused by an uncrashworthy automobile, you may be entitled to compensation under product liability laws.

Contact a Boston or Washington DC personal injury attorney at the Massachusetts or Washington DC offices of Pollack & Flanders, LLP, to consult with you to determine the details of your case.
