Jefferson County Defective Vehicle Attorney
Auto manufacturers and their subcontracted parts production companies are required by law to ensure their vehicles and component pass highly regulated crashworthiness tests to ensure public safety. If an individual component or system fails at highway speeds, the driver and passengers — as well as others on the road — face the potential of serious injury or death from the resulting accident.
If you were seriously injured in an accident because your seat belt or airbag failed, or the crash was caused by sudden acceleration or other systems failure, you are entitled to seek significant compensation for your medical expenses and treatment over a lifetime of injuries, as well as lost current and future earnings. You are also entitled to seek money damages for pain and suffering, and punitive damages, in the event of gross and deliberate negligence.
If you are the victim of a hit-and-run accident, don't give up hope of recovering money damages. Your insurance company should be prepared to pay for damages, but you will be treated as a hostile claimant, and the settlement offer is often less than the full extent of your injuries and financial losses. The Drake Law Firm is ready to help you stand up and protect your rights. We know the avenues for finding compensation.
In 1998, attorney Whit Drake opened our law firm with a commitment to providing compassionate, vigorous representation for plaintiffs who have suffered injury and loss because of someone else's negligence. A car accident case involving a defective auto part is not like any other kind of car wreck injury claim. Investigating liability and preparing a strong base of evidence in your favor requires a team of expert engineers to establish the required proof in Alabama courts. Our firm has decades of experience in handling product defect claims.
Auto defect claims are complex and require intensive investigation and case preparation. We do not accept these cases lightly. We focus on representation for clients who have suffered catastrophic injury or have lost a loved on in a car accident resulting from an auto defect.
