Car and Auto Product Liability
Auto accidents occur multiple times every day in the United States, as there are an estimated 6 million accidents or more that occur annually. Auto accidents are always dangerous situations that can cause serious injuries and death, but one of the most overlooked issues involved with auto accidents is that which involves injuries and deaths that occur because of auto-related products.
Fighting for those Injured by Auto-Related Products
Below is a brief look at some of the auto-related products that can cause injuries and death, but if you have suffered as a result of this sort of situation, you should not attempt to handle the problem yourself.

Most of the auto-related products that cause injuries and death are located inside the passenger compartment, and in a cruel twist of irony, many of them are marketed with the message that using them makes the driving and riding experience safer. A few examples appear below, but this is by no means an exhaustive list.- Airbags - Airbags were hailed as a revolutionary product that worked much more effectively than seatbelts because they did not cause bodily harm when deployed and because they didn't trap a vehicle's occupants after a crash. Over time, both assertions have proven to be faulty, as an airbag's impact on a person can cause serious injuries and a fully-inflated airbag can trap a person inside a car.
- Seatbelts - We've all seen campaigns in the media advising us to wear seatbelts, and most states have laws requiring their use. While it's true that wearing a seatbelt does statistically make driving safer, they can also cause serious injuries. A seatbelt can tear through tissue if it restrains a person in a forceful collision and can easily trap an occupant inside a car that's just been in an accident, creating an even more dangerous situation.
- Car seats - Everyone who drives with a child is strongly advised to use a car seat, and like seatbelts, many jurisdictions have laws that require their use. However, car seats, although generally safer than when a child rides without one, can cause injuries and deaths as well. A car seat can malfunction and fold on top of itself if too much pressure is exerted on its structure, and car seats can also constrict airways in children and make it very difficult to breathe.
Other Problems
The list above represents only three examples of auto-related products that can cause serious injuries and death. However, when someone is injured by one of these products or any other, it's often unclear as to which entity should be held accountable.
