Recovering Damages in Texas Vehicle Defect Cases

Since 1966, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has recalled more than 390 million motor vehicles for safety related defects.* That number soars even higher when you consider the millions of tires and pieces of motor vehicle equipment that have also been recalled . These safety defects cause serious motor vehicle accidents in Texas every year.

There may be little anyone can do to stop an accident from occurring if a vehicle malfunctions while it is being driven. Even the most skilled driver may end up in a serious accident through no fault of his own. In those cases, the vehicle manufacturer may be legally responsible for the damages caused in the accident.

When is a Vehicle Defective?
Vehicle defects are defined by federal law - specifically by the United States Code for Motor Vehicle Safety (41 USC 301). According to the legal definition, a vehicle defect:

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

For example, problems with the accelerator, brakes, transmission and tires may be vehicle defects because the problems may affect the safety of the vehicle. However, problems with the air conditioning, radio, or paint are not vehicle defects because they will not cause an accident or create an unreasonable risk of injury or death.

Manufacturer's Responsibility for Vehicle Defects
Generally, it is a manufacturer's responsibility to fix or replace your vehicle if the vehicle is defective. If the manufacturer has not adequately fixed the safety defect prior to your accident then you may be entitled to damages. The manufacturer may be required to pay you for:

Medical bills (both those already incurred and expected future bills);
Rehabilitation Costs;
Out of Pocket Expenses;
Past and Future Lost Income;
Loss of Enjoyment of Life (particularly if you've suffered a disability as a result of an accident); and
Pain and suffering.
