Auto Defects

Every day, people are seriously injured by products which are defective or are improperly designed. When automobiles have manufacturing or design defects, lives hang in the balance. Defective product lawyers hold companies responsible for their short-sightedness, obtaining for victims settlements and verdicts to fully compensate them for their injuries or loss.

If you believe you or a loved one has been a victim of an auto defect, you should contact an experienced lawyer as soon as possible. At Bellas & Wachowski Attorneys at Law, we have a tremendous record of success representing people across the United States who have been seriously injured, maimed, or killed by defective products. We can meet with you, to discuss any of the following issues:

• Vehicle rollovers , and roof crush
• Seat belt failure (See our article on Inertial Unlatching of Seat Belts )
• Auto recall
• Airbag safety

Prosecuting auto companies for defects falls under the legal category of "product liability." Product liability cases are complex, difficult, and expensive to prosecute. We have demonstrated the skill to help the seriously injured and their families to achieve maximum compensation for their injuries. Attorney George Bellas is well-known for his success in SUV rollover cases, gaining his reputation from Ford Explorer case that brought a $22 million settlement. See the following articles for more general information about SUV rollovers:

• Increased Risk of Rollover Crashes in SUV's

At Bellas & Wachowski Attorneys at Law, we believe strongly in our work. As we discuss in Lawsuits Have Saved Millions of Lives, defective product litigation has been successful in protecting the public from unscrupulous companies. When a company places profit over safety, you have to affect their bottom line to protect consumers. As we put it in another article, Big Business Needs Reins .

Many auto defect cases start out as simple auto accident cases. Without contacting an experienced attorney, accident victims are unaware of the true reasons for their crash and injuries. Our attorneys know how to examine the scene of the crash, examine the car's Electronic Control Module ("Black Box") , and find out the true causes.
