Auto defect cases often involve catastrophic injuries or even wrongful death. Common causes include:
Airbag failures – Exploding or failing to deploy.
Brake malfunctions – Faulty brake systems leading to collisions.
Tire blowouts – Poorly manufactured tires causing rollovers.
Seatbelt failures – Latches that fail during crashes.
Electrical defects – Sudden engine shutdowns.
Software flaws – Malfunctioning driver-assist systems.
Unrepaired recalls – Vehicles with outstanding recalls not fixed.
These issues, when combined with reckless driving, make Costa Mesa roads dangerous. They leave accident victims facing traumatic brain injuries, broken bones, medical attention, medical costs, and even post traumatic stress disorder. Our legal team investigates the vehicles involved and works to establish liability so clients can seek compensation.
