Common Questions for Defective Automobile Lawyers

Philadelphia, Lancaster, Pennsylvania

What makes an automobile defective?

Automobiles can be considered defective for a number of reasons. Some of those include:

• Defective safety features like airbags and seatbelts
• Inadequate side-impact or roof collapse features
• Fuel system and mechanical defects
• Faulty door latches

Any design or mechanical flaw in an automobile that increases the risk of injury to the driver and passengers qualifies as a defect.

What if my vehicle has been the subject of a federal or auto industry recall?

A recall may be issued to correct a safety feature, but often happens only after injuries have occurred. A recall does not protect an automobile manufacturer from liability, but does increase their chances of minimizing your settlement. With the experienced defective automobile attorneys at Atlee Hall, LLP on your side, you can be sure that maximum damages will be pursued, even if a recall has been issued.

What damages can I seek in a defective automobile suit?

You are entitled to compensation for all personal injuries you have sustained. In addition, you can seek compensation for:

• All current and future medical expenses related to your accident
• Property damage
• Loss of current and future wages
• Pain and suffering

If your defective automobile resulted in the death of a loved one, you are entitled to seek all of the damages available in a wrongful death case.
