Serving victims of defective door latches:
The door latch is a vital component in any auto safety system. The latch is designed keep the vehicle's doors closed in an accident, preventing the occupants from being ejected. However, many vehicles have door latches that fail under the stress of an accident, causing severe, catastrophic injuries and deaths in accidents that would otherwise result in minor or no injuries.
A door defect case involves proving that the automaker either designed or manufactured the car's door improperly. Given that our focus is on auto accidents and auto products defects, we are able to thoroughly investigate the accident and identify clues that others may miss:
- The latch failed following a car accident
- That the latch does not meet National Highway Transportation Safety Administration crashworthiness standards
- The cause of the door failure was a weak door latch or the door latch malfunctioned
- The door failure caused you or a family member a serious or fatal injury
