This video discusses the importance of understanding brake failure in single car accidents. It emphasizes the need to maintain possession of the vehicle for proper investigation. The law firm McCutcheon and Hamner works with experts to analyze the car's performance and establish liability in product failure cases.
If you suspect brake failure, it's crucial to keep the vehicle for inspection. Contact a lawyer who specializes in automotive cases to guide you through the process.
Experts can analyze the vehicle by testing the brakes and other components to see if they functioned as intended. This analysis is key in establishing liability.
Products liability cases involve claims against manufacturers for defects in their products. In the case of brake failure, it would be about whether the brakes performed as they were designed to do.
I often receive calls where people have been in single car accidents and they're wondering why my car didn't respond or what happened to my vehicle. For example, did the brakes fail? That's a common question we get. Or if I was in an accident, my airbags didn't deploy and I was injured worse. In these cases, like brake failure cases, the key to having a successful case is maintaining possession of the car. At McCutcheon and Hamner, we have a team of experts that we work with who will come in, take the car, literally break the car apart and test every functioning part of the car to make sure that it performed properly. That is, they'll test the brakes. Did the brakes respond quickly enough? Did the brakes respond appropriately? That is a key to these cases. These are products liability cases. And our experts at McCutcheon-Hamner will help us establish that the product failed. That is, it didn't perform as it was manufactured to do.
