Defective Vehicle Structure Safety
When you are in a car accident, you rely on the structure of your vehicle to remain intact and keep you safe. If any type of structural integrity has caused you serious injury, an experienced auto safety defect product liability lawyer can help you protect your rights.
Some level of deformation is to be expected in any accident. However, the safety zone around the driver and passengers should remain intact in almost every accident scenario. In the back, crush should be limited to the space between the rear bumper and rear axle. In the front, it should be limited to the space between the front bumper and the dashboard. Doors should stay latched. The roof should remain intact. If these key elements do not maintain their structural integrity, your survival space is lost and your chance of injury dramatically increases.
