Las Vegas Accident Attorneys
You have enough threats from other drivers in Las Vegas traffic. You should not have to worry and wonder whether your own vehicle will be your undoing. Unfortunately, defective vehicles are a very real danger. Some cause accidents while others fail to protect occupants when a crash occurs. If you have been injured by a defective vehicle, our Las Vegas car accident attorneys can help you recover fair compensation. Please call us before it is too late.
Defects Which Cause Accidents
Examples of defects which can cause accidents include:
- Defective ignitions switch
- Defects causing unintentional acceleration
- Electrical system defects
- Airbags that deploy inappropriately
- Faulty tires
- Steering system defects
- Faulty suspension
- Defective brakes
- Design flaws leading to rollover
- Sensor defects
- Faulty electronic throttle control (ETC)
- Fuel system defects
- Defective fuel gauge
Crashworthiness Defects
Crashworthiness defects do not cause accidents, but they result in injuries that are worse than they would have been if the car provided more protection or did not cause additional injuries.
For instance, in a rollover accident poor roof crush resistance, defective seat belts, faulty door latch, and defective window glazing can all lead to ejection making injuries far more severe. Fuel system defects leading to fuel-fed fires can cause severe burns, in accidents that would have otherwise caused only minor injuries.
Examples of crashworthiness defects include:
- Defective seat belt
- Defective air bag
- Poor roof crush resistance
- Collapsing seat backs
- Faulty head rest
- Defective door latch
- Window glazing defects
- Gas tank and fuels system defects leading to explosions and fuel-fed fires
Dangers of Defective Vehicles
In some cases we see a deadly combination of defects which both cause a crash and cause preventable injuries. Defective tires that blowout on SUVs can easily cause a rollover when the SUV has a high center of gravity, and then common defects in SUVs such as poor roof crush resistance can lead to even more serious injuries.
We also sometime see tragedies, such as house fires, caused by defective vehicles that are not even in use. Some defects can cause a vehicle to catch on fire when it is not in operation and if it is parked in the family garage when this happens, the entire house can go up in flames before anyone is able to escape.
Who can be Held Responsible?

- Auto manufacturer
