Have a Faulty Car Part? Our Longview Product Liability Lawyers Can Help!
A faulty or defective product can be unsafe in any circumstances, but when that product is part of a motor vehicle, it can be especially dangerous. Cars, trucks, and motorcycles drive at fast speeds, and if any part of those vehicles malfunctions while driving it could cause a serious crash that is likely to harm the driver, any passengers, as well as anyone else on or near the road. For this reason, those responsible for creating or selling malfunctioning auto parts should be held responsible for any resulting injuries or damage.
Our product liability lawyers at Erskine & McMahon, LLP understand how frightening and frustrating it can be to suffer an injury because of a defective auto part. We are passionate about advocating for the rights of the wrongfully injured, and we can use our ample resources to fight for compensation on your behalf.
