Los Angeles Auto Product Liability Lawyer
Did a defective car part cause your accident? A Los Angeles car accident lawyer at our law firm may be able to help. Although a less common cause of car accidents in Los Angeles, a defective car part may cause an accident to occur even when a driver is acting cautiously and obeying traffic laws. For example, defective brakes may fail and therefore prevent a driver from stopping at a traffic light or stop sign. A faulty airbag may deploy while a driver is in the middle of driving on a road, causing him or her to collide with another vehicle. An engine fire or other engine malfunction may cause a driver to lose control on a freeway, causing a catastrophic car accident.
These are just a few examples of potential accidents that may involve automotive product liability. If you were involved in a car accident in the Los Angeles area and believe that a defective auto part may have been the cause of your accident, an attorney at the Law Office of Lee Arter & Associates may be able to advise you on your legal rights and options. Depending on the case, you may be able to bring a lawsuit against the manufacturer, distributor or retailer of the faulty part in order to seek financial damages for the injuries you have sustained. This may give you the opportunity to get money you need for medical expenses, any lost wages, emotional suffering, and possibly more.
