Automobile Products Liability

If you or a loved one suffered serious physical injuries or death due to a defective automobile or automobile component part you should contact the California product liability law firm, the Law Offices of Gary A Kessler.  The automobile manufacturer can be held “strictly liable” for selling defective automobiles and their defective automobile parts which cause serious injury or death to the driver and their passengers.

By coming forward and contacting the Law Offices of Gary A Kessler you can hold the automobile manufacturer accountable for the fatalities caused by their selling defective automobiles.

Dangerous defective automobile cases usually involve:                                                  

  • – Fuel tank fires (explosions)
  • – Defective tires (Firestone, Bridgestone and the Ford Explorer cases)
  • – Dangerous defective roof crush and fatalities
  • – Dangerous defective “seat back” failure resulting in death

The Law Offices of Gary A Kessler has a proven successful track record holding the car manufacturers liable (accountable) for the design of dangerously defective fuel tank designs which resulted in fuel tank fire deaths.

Additionally, an automobile may be defective due to roof crush and collapse during a vehicle rollover, resulting in death.  The automobile manufacturers have known for years that they have placed into the consumer market automobiles that have thin and unstable roofs which make these automobiles extremely dangerous to drive.  In fact, one nationally known manufacturer knew that if they merely invested just $10.00 more per car that lives would be saved.  The automobile manufacturers know how to build a more solid roof.  In fact, Volvo spent millions of dollars improving their roofs as well as providing their safety study to the public.  Mercedes Benz has a solid roof.  Unfortunately, Chevrolet and Ford have been slow to respond to plaintiffs complaints that their roofs are unsafe, lack crash-worthiness and are susceptible to “roof crush” deaths.

The United States National Traffic Safety Administration revealed that there is a casual connection between an automobiles roof strength and crushing fatalities.  Our expert witnesses as well as countless professional studies reveal that a stronger roof will save the lives of everyone in the automobile during a rollover accident.  Stronger roofs will improve driver and rider safety.  The automobile manufactures have bargained the consumers lives away for greedy corporate profits.  This happens time and again.

If you or a loved one is involved in a serious automobile defective products liability accident:

  • – Insist that a report is filed by the Police Department, California Highway Patrol or Sheriff’s Department;
  • – Obtain essential information (i.e., name, address, insurance information, vehicle license number and drivers license number of any and all persons involved in the accident);
  • – Photograph the accident scene as well as all visible injuries;
  • – Shut up!  Talk to no one about the accident or your injuries other than your attorney or doctor, never to an insurance adjuster or insurance investigator.  Do not volunteer a statement to any insurance company;
  • – Sign absolutely nothing without consulting a lawyer;
  • – Seek medical attention immediately and keep a diary of your level of pain;
  • – Keep all receipts for all medical expenses and/or funeral bills and wage loss records;
  • – Be sure that the vehicle is kept (i.e., preserve the evidence) without the vehicle and car presented you have essentially lost your case before a lawyer can even get started.  At least contact a lawyer to recover the car and make arrangements to preserve the evidence (i.e., the car);
  • – Contact the Law Offices of Gary A Kessler an experienced law firm immediately to protect your rights and preserve the evidence!
