Motor vehicle accidents triggered by auto defects, product defects, or road defects can and do happen. Defects can cause rollovers, car and van fires, and roof crushes. These accidents can be related to defective car parts and products, including airbags, child car seats, infant and baby safety seats and boosters, seat belt defects, roof collapses, seat back defects, glass defects, tire defects, auto fires, door latches, ejection, and brake defects, as well as road defects. Feldman Shepherd lawyers also handle a large number of cases where the vehicle is not “crashworthy,” which we call crashworthiness cases. We represent automobile-defect victims, including drivers, passengers, pedestrians, and cyclists who are injured as a result of someone else’s carelessness or recklessness.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has reported that U.S. drivers are involved in motor vehicle accidents every five seconds, with crashes resulting in injuries occurring every ten seconds. It is not surprising, then, that the U.S. Department of Transportation found that nearly 2.7 million people were injured or killed in automobile accidents in 2005 (the most recent year for which these statistics are available).

Handling each auto accident case as a special and unique case, Feldman Shepherd lawyers have obtained substantial verdicts and settlements in motor vehicle defects litigation, in state and federal courts. We have also successfully pursued claims against manufacturing companies for the failure in the design, manufacturing, or marketing of automobile products that have contributed to serious accidents.

Our experienced attorneys can help you secure all of the compensation to which you may be entitled. This may include compensation for your pain and suffering, financial losses, emotional distress, and medical expenses. In some cases, you may also be entitled to punitive damages for another party’s wrongdoing.

Our attorneys can help you deal with your insurance company, as well as the insurer of the other party or parties. Insurance companies have lawyers working hard to minimize their payouts; you need a lawyer who will work just as hard for you.
