– Client Testimonial
Auto defects can occur at different stages of the manufacturing process and may involve multiple parties. Some of the most common causes include:
Design flaws that compromise the safety of the vehicle.
Manufacturing defects, including faulty brakes or steering components. Manufacturing defects occur during the production or assembly process of a vehicle, making them distinct from design flaws.
Marketing defects, such as a failure to warn consumers of known risks.
Manufacturer’s warranty issues, where the vehicle manufacturer refuses to repair or replace defective vehicles.
These defects can lead to serious accidents, resulting injuries, missed work, and financial strain for Fresno families.
Auto defects and unsafe vehicles are a continuing concern across California, and Fresno County is no exception.
According to the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), Fresno County recorded 5,314 people killed or injured in traffic crashes in 2022, ranking 21st out of 58 counties on the composite measure of crash harm.
The Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) collects detailed crash data, including collisions where a vehicle-related defect or equipment failure was a contributing factor. Fresno-specific breakdowns for “vehicle defect” can be accessed through the Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS).
On a national level, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported nearly 35 million vehicles recalled in 2023, with close to 1,000 safety recalls issued for vehicles, tires, child seats, and equipment that failed to meet federal safety standards.
These numbers highlight how manufacturing defects, design flaws, and failure to meet safety standards can pose serious risks, reinforcing the need for experienced Fresno lemon law attorneys to hold vehicle manufacturers accountable.
If you or a loved one has been injured by a defective vehicle, you may have the right to:
File a California lemon law claim if your vehicle qualifies as a lemon under the law. The Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, commonly known as California’s lemon law, provides this protection.
Seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages, lost income, and other expenses.
Pursue non-economic damages such as emotional distress and mental anguish.
Request a replacement vehicle or pursue recovering damages when the manufacturer fails to repair.
In some cases, courts may allow punitive damages if evidence shows particularly reckless conduct by a manufacturer.
Our Fresno auto defect lawyers can evaluate your case during a free consultation and advise you on the best course of action to protect your well-being.
