 |
| If your vehicle or a component on the vehicle, such as the tires, had safety defects which led to your injury, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit against the manufacturer. |
| A crash involving a rollover accident is a common type of suit against a manufacturer for selling an unsafe vehicle. In rollover lawsuits, the injured persons allege that the SUVs, vans or other vehicles had unacceptably high risk of roll over in the event of a sudden maneuver, and that manufacturer was aware of this safety flaw yet still marketed and sold the vehicle. |
| Damages sought against negligent drivers and major auto companies for producing and selling vehicles with safety defects include general and compensatory damages for: |
- Past and future physical pain and suffering, mental anguish and physical impairment;
- Past and future medical, incidental and hospital expenses;
- Past and future loss of earnings and earning capacity; and
- Wrongful death when the driver or passenger was killed.
