Auto Defects: Door Latch Litigation
As explained in our occupant ejection page, a person in an accident is much more likely to sustain serious injury and death if he or she is ejected from the vehicle. Because most windshields are very difficult to penetrate, due to glass glazing, a primary way that people are often ejected from vehicles is through faulty door latches.
Some door latches and door locks are manufactured with critical flaws. If a force hits the door in a certain way, mechanisms in the door are compressed and the door is thrown open. When this occurs, a person is easily expelled from the car and the chances of a fatality occurring rise dramatically.
Auto Manufacturer Negligence Causes Serious Injury and Death
Occupant ejections increase the chances of a catastrophic injury and fatal injury. Examples of common injuries from door latch failure and occupant ejections include brain damage and head trauma, serious back and neck injuries, spinal cord damage and paralysis. The chances of fatal injury are also increased due to door latch failure and occupant ejections.
The technical knowledge necessary to fully pursue a case involving door latch litigation is staggering. The attorneys of the Bell Legal Group have spent years examining door latch design and pursing successful door latch litigation against car companies. Their skill and experience are so rare that they are hired across the United States, by both individuals and by other attorneys who cannot handle such cases alone.
