New Orleans Defective Design or Manufacture of Vehicles or Vehicle Components Accident Lawyer

 

Even the most cautious driver might not be able to prevent a car accident caused by a vehicle design defect, manufacturing flaw, or a faulty component. An unsafe vehicle can pose a threat and a risk of serious injury to its driver and other road users.

If you or a loved one were injured in this type of accident, you may be entitled to compensation from the responsible party. A New Orleans defective design or manufacture of vehicles or vehicle components lawyer from Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers may be able to fight for a settlement offer or court award on your behalf.

We can work to identify the liable party and how their negligence caused your accident when we represent you. The potentially recoverable damages in this type of case may include your medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and more.

Contact an injury claim team member at Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers by calling (504) 777-7777 today. We offer a free, no-obligation case review to car accident victims in New Orleans. If you qualify, we may be able to represent you on a contingency-fee-basis with no up-front payments required.

The Dangers of Defective Vehicles and Vehicle Components

People rely on the cars they purchase to transport them safely to and from various locations. Vehicle safety is carefully monitored in an effort to keep every vehicle occupant and pedestrian on the road safe. 49 United States Code (USC) §301 outlines laws regarding federal motor vehicle safety standards.

Even with these safety guidelines, certain vehicles or vehicle components can malfunction and cause accidents. Examples of this may include:

  • A car that has a high likelihood of rolling over
  • A defective tire that can rupture on the road
  • Defective brake components that cause a car’s brake system to malfunction
  • An airbag that deploys at the wrong time

These malfunctions may be due to defective design, defects in the manufacturing process, or issues with a product’s marketing or instructions.

Accidents caused by defective vehicles or vehicle components may cause a single car to crash, or they could result in multi-car accidents. Either way, if another party’s negligence was the root cause of your accident, they may be liable for your damages in a personal injury claim or lawsuit.

  • Pain and suffering
  • Mental anguish
  • Emotional distress
  • Physical disability
  • Physical disfigurement

Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can collect evidence of your damages and estimate their value when we represent you.

The Time Constraints on a Car Accident Lawsuit

Do not overlook the important role of time in the filing of your lawsuit. Even if you are able to prove negligence against the at-fault driver, failure to comply with the statute of limitations could mean that your case gets dismissed and that you are unable to recover compensation for your damages via a lawsuit.

Per Louisiana Civil Code (CC) §3492, there is a general two-year statute of limitations on personal injury lawsuits in Louisiana. For information on what specific deadlines pertain to your case, call Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers today. The sooner you consult a member of our team, the sooner we can start working on your case.
