Drivers have a legal and moral responsibility to operate their cars, trucks, and vans in accordance with the established traffic safety laws and without engaging in negligent or reckless driving behaviors. But while a commitment by all motorists to drive safely can significantly reduce the risk of collisions, they are still effectively at the mercy of the manufacturers and mechanics that build and maintain their vehicles. Despite this responsibility, motor vehicle defects and malfunctions are frighteningly common.
If you have been hurt in a car wreck that was caused by a defective or malfunctioning motor vehicle, then it might be appropriate to pursue the matter in a lawsuit filed against the automaker or mechanic whose negligence enabled the crash.
