It’s not uncommon for vehicle manufacturers to sell defective parts to unsuspecting customers. Unfortunately, many of the fatalities that occur on our roads every day are caused by poor and reckless driving decisions. Most drivers aren’t aware of the road and their surroundings while driving. Drivers can easily become distracted and lose control when driving conditions change.
But not all accidents are caused by negligence on the part of the driver or others involved in an accident. Accidents can occur because the vehicle manufacturer sold a defective vehicle to an owner. When will the car manufacturer be held responsible?
You may discover a design flaw in your car after you are involved in an accident. Florida law allows you to sue the manufacturer of your car in court.
