Defective Auto Components
Accidents caused by defective auto components are sometimes called "the accident within the accident." In these cases the accident is caused — or the injuries made more severe — not by the negligence of the driver but by a defect in the car.
If you have been injured because of an auto defect, you may be entitled to damages from the manufacturer. The trial lawyers at Aiken & Jacobsen in Sacramento, California, offer nearly 50 years of combined experience pursuing product liability claims against negligent manufacturers. We offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case.
Holding Auto Manufacturers Accountable
There are many different kinds of auto defects that can lead to serious personal injury in an accident. Examples include:
- Brake defects
- Tire blowouts and tire tread separation
- Roof crush accidents
- Fires caused by faulty fuel systems or batteries
- Defective air bags or seat belts
- Unintended acceleration
- Defective child restraints in car seats
