This firm has handled cases involving automobiles where the front seat collapses and the head of the front seat occupant falls back and strikes a baby in a car seat in the back seat. Please be careful to seat your child in the middle if at all possible and not behind a front seat driver or occupant. These front seats are not designed to handle more than a 40 MPH impact. If your child is directly behind you, that child could be killed or suffer serious brain injury as a result of a collapsing seat. It is also safer to have your child in the middle of the back seat to prevent as much injury in the event of a side impact. The child needs to be properly fastened into the car seat to avoid flying out or up and hitting the ceiling.

This firm has successfully handled many products liability cases. Some involve collapsing televisions, pool safety, automobile defects and motorcycle helmets, brakes, axles, and other parts. Sometimes the helmet that is worn by the motorcycle driver does not work as it is intended. It can crack, fall off, or otherwise not prevent a head injury as it is designed to do. If you or someone you know is suspicious that the helmet did not work as it should or there was a defect in the car or motorcycle that contributed to the accident you should consult an attorney immediately.

There are many negligence cases that are in the category of “products liability.” Many people remember in around the year 2000 when the Ford Explorer was rolling over and people were being killed and seriously injured. Much of the damages caused by this were related to the tires. In these cases, the manufacturer of the vehicle and the tire had to be brought into the litigation. Many vehicles have been recalled and if you are hurt as a result of what you feel to be a product crash-worthy issue, you should contact an attorney. You would be surprised to learn how many consumer complains, recalls, and defect investigations have occurred based upon the Ford Explorer alone. There is a research tool that you can investigate yourself called the “Vehicle Safety Information Resource Center.” You may want to check this database before purchasing your next vehicle. Even if you are not in the vehicle that rolled over or was defective, but were on a motorcycle or pedestrian injured by one of these vehicles, you may want to investigate more than the policy limits on the driver of the other car that may have been at least partially at-fault.
