Was the Vehicle Designed to Withstand a Collision?
Auto manufacturers frequently advertise about how thorough they are when it comes to designing a safe vehicle. Television commercials frequently show people in white coats with clipboards in hand watching carefully and taking notes as vehicles are subjected to high-speed collisions. When the image an auto manufacturer presents on its TV commercials does not match the reality of its vehicles, and a person is injured because of a vehicle's lack of crashworthiness, action may be taken against the manufacturer.
Auto manufacturers are big businesses, but they know that, at the law firm of Marcus & Mack, we mean business. Our attorneys will hold them accountable for any design flaws that contributed to the injuries suffered by a motor vehicle accident victim. We bring more than 30 years of experience to cases involving auto defects.
What Is Crashworthiness?
Crashworthiness refers to a car's ability to protect its occupants during a collision. Crashworthiness addresses the car's structural integrity and its ability to withstand an impact without rolling over or injuring the occupants. It also addresses the car's ability to protect occupants from the secondary impact that can come when a passenger's head collides with the windshield or the steering wheel. This ties into airbags and seatbelts.
Reviewing Crashworthiness Is Part of the Process
We take pride in our motor vehicle accident investigations. We have been handling these cases long enough to know that we cannot leave a single stone unturned. Our goal is to maximize compensation for the victim. If that requires taking action against an auto manufacturer because of problems with the vehicle's crashworthiness, that is a step we are ready to take.
