Auto Defects

Tire & Brake Failure, Rollovers and Other Dangerous Defects

Manufacturers of defective vehicles and auto parts and systems that lead to accidents that cause serious injuries or deaths are subject to product liability laws in California.

Product liability refers to the responsibility product manufacturers have to produce products which are safe for consumers. If a dangerous or defective product causes injury, the injured person can seek financial compensation for damages through a product liability claim.

The attorneys of Stolpman Law Group have successfully represented clients who were seriously injured because of vehicle defects that could have and should have been prevented. Tom Stolpman has been recognized as one of the Best Lawyers in America since 1998, and has recovered millions of dollars in damages on behalf of clients injured by a broad range of defective products.

Our law firm has won millions of dollars for clients injured by many types of vehicle defects, including those involving:

  • Auto defects
  • Industrial machinery
  • Ladders
  • Construction equipment
  • Household products
  • Electrical equipment
  • Food products that cause serious illness or death
  • Dangerous products for children (cribs, car seats, toys containing lead, etc)
  • Tire defects, including accidents caused by tread separation
  • Brake failures caused by the auto maker, brake manufacturer or maintenance shop
  • Air bags that cause injury by failure to deploy and deploying with too much force
  • Seat belts, such as seat belts that unlatch in rollover accidents
  • Vehicle rollovers, including SUV rollovers caused by design or tire defects
  • Gas tank defects that lead to fuel-fed fires and explosions

Vehicle defect litigation can be highly technical and often requires experts to conduct accident reconstructions, analysis and testing. Not every law firm has the knowledge, experience and resources required to succeed in these cases.

Our law firm has taken on some of the largest vehicle and auto parts makers in the U.S. and Japan and succeeded on behalf of our clients.

We cannot emphasize enough how seriously auto makers take product defect cases. Their company’s name and reputation are on the line. They are willing to spend an exorbitant amount of money to fight these cases. For them, it is just a cost of doing business. For us and for our clients, it is much more personal.

Success in a vehicle defect case provides justice and financial compensation for the injured and protects others from suffering a similar injury.
