Entering a vehicle and driving to a destination can put a driver and his or her passengers at risk of suffering injuries or death in a traffic accident. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2006 alone there were 42,642 traffic-related fatalities and nearly 2.6 million injuries in the United States. What these figures don't reveal, however, is how many fatalities and serious injuries, including life-altering brain and spinal cord injuries, occurred because of defective automobile parts and non-crashworthy vehicles.

The crashworthiness of automobiles has been a prominent issue ever since Ralph Nader exposed the dangers of the Chevrolet Corvair in the 1960’s. More recently, the crashworthiness of SUVs and 15-passenger vans has gained national attention because a high center of gravity makes these oversized vehicles much more prone to devastating rollover accidents than automobiles. Crashworthiness also encompasses factors such as fuel tank location, roof crush resistance in a rollover accidents, and automobile seatbelt failures.
The crashworthiness of any vehicle can come into question when occupants are seriously injured or killed in an accident. Determining whether crashworthiness was a factor that led to injuries or death requires skilled product liability attorneys who have the resources to fully investigate a crash. The attorneys at Warshauer Poe & Thornton, P.C., have extensive resources and will retain top motor vehicle accident experts to do so. Our attorneys will build a solid case to help you obtain compensation from those responsible for making a vehicle that failed to offer adequate protection to its occupants.
When you drive and when you transport your friends and family members in your car, van, or SUV, you do so with expectation that your vehicle is reasonably safe and will protect you in an accident.

At our Atlanta, Georgia, law firm, product liability claims involving a defective vehicle or product are handled by attorneys who have extensive experience in helping clients attain the maximum recovery allowable under the law. If you have been involved in a serious motor vehicle accident, contact Warshauer Poe & Thornton, P.C. to protect your rights.
