Determine the Type of Defective Vehicle Accident You Were Involved in
Defective vehicle crashes as a result of various negligent actions on the part of the manufacturers, retailers, or other parties who may have been responsible for handling the vehicle before it came into your possession. Whether your car crash was caused by defective manufacturing, repair mistakes, or improper installation of parts, you can hold the at-fault party responsible by filing a personal injury claim.
Some examples of defective vehicle accidents in Texas are as follows:
Repair Defects
Whether you brought your car into an auto repair shop or your car dealership to have repairs done to the vehicle, they may be found liable if an accident occurs due to a defect. If the defect has to do with faulty or improper repairs to any part of your vehicle, a trusted Texas lawyer may be able to help you collect evidence to help you build your claim.
Manufacturer Defects
If a defective part led to your car accident, the manufacturer of the entire vehicle or the specific defective products may be found to be at fault or your losses. Your Texas lawyer can help you build your personal injury claim by doing the following:
- Analyze the remaining components of the part and vehicle damage
- Look for any product recalls or other cases involving products from the same manufacturer that led to an accident
- Work with an accident reconstruction specialist to recreate the accident to determine how the defective product caused the accident that led to your injuries and losses
Once your Texas lawyer has identified the type of defective product car crash you were involved in and who may be liable for your losses, the next step is to prove their liability. Proving liability is a crucial step that will allow you to pursue the fair compensation you are owed for the harm you have suffered.
Proving Liability in a Defective Vehicle Accident in Texas
Once the at-fault party has been identified in your case, the next step your Texas personal injury lawyer will take is to prove their liability. To prove liability, your lawyer must present evidence of the four elements of negligence.
The four elements of negligence are as follows:
- The at-fault party owed you a duty of care
- The duty of care was breached
- The beach of duty led to the defective product accident and your subsequent injuries
- You suffered losses as a result of the at-fault party’s negligence
If you have been harmed due to a defective vehicle crash, you have the right to file a personal injury claim and pursue justice. To begin the claims process, contact a Texas lawyer today.
