Showing When a Defective Auto Caused a Houston Car Wreck

Defective auto accidents  happen continually in the Houston and Austin areas. A defective part of a car, be it the brakes, accelerator or tires, can fail, causing a serious wreck that injures one or more people.

In these cases, the people injured in the wreck may have the right to recover damages for their injuries, receiving compensation for medical bills, ongoing or rehabilitative care, missed time at work, pain or emotional suffering and more.

These personal injury claims ensure that the negligent auto makers that designed or manufactured a defective car are held responsible for their actions, and that the victims of the resulting crashes have an opportunity to get their life back to how it was.

However, while defective auto accidents are common, it remains difficult to win a legal case against car manufacturers. This is because, among other reasons, there remains a high burden to prove the vehicle that caused an accident was indeed defective.

The United States Code for Motor Vehicle Safety (41 USC 301) defines that a defect:

• May be in the design, construction, or performance of the motor vehicle
• Most pose an unreasonable risk of injury or death
• May exist in a group of vehicles of the same design or make
