00:00:00.708 --> 00:00:01.958
I often receive calls

2
00:00:01.958 --> 00:00:03.166
where people have been

3
00:00:03.166 --> 00:00:03.958
in single car

4
00:00:03.958 --> 00:00:05.291
accidents and

5
00:00:05.291 --> 00:00:05.791
they're wondering

6
00:00:06.125 --> 00:00:07.125
why my car didn't

7
00:00:07.125 --> 00:00:08.375
respond or what

8
00:00:08.375 --> 00:00:08.875
happened to

9
00:00:08.875 --> 00:00:09.583
my vehicle.

10
00:00:10.208 --> 00:00:11.000
For example, did the

11
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:11.833
brakes fail?

12
00:00:11.833 --> 00:00:12.333
That's a common

13
00:00:12.333 --> 00:00:13.250
question we get.

14
00:00:13.541 --> 00:00:14.583
Or if I was in an

15
00:00:14.583 --> 00:00:16.166
accident, my airbags

16
00:00:16.166 --> 00:00:17.208
didn't deploy and I

17
00:00:17.208 --> 00:00:18.041
was injured worse.

18
00:00:18.750 --> 00:00:19.833
In these cases, like

19
00:00:19.833 --> 00:00:21.041
brake failure cases,

20
00:00:21.500 --> 00:00:22.958
the key to having a

21
00:00:22.958 --> 00:00:24.375
successful case is

22
00:00:24.375 --> 00:00:24.916
maintaining

23
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:26.500
possession of the car.

24
00:00:27.208 --> 00:00:27.833
At McCutcheon and

25
00:00:27.833 --> 00:00:28.791
Hamner, we have a team

26
00:00:28.791 --> 00:00:29.791
of experts that we

27
00:00:29.791 --> 00:00:30.375
work with

28
00:00:30.375 --> 00:00:31.166
who will come

29
00:00:31.208 --> 00:00:32.416
in, take the car,

30
00:00:32.833 --> 00:00:33.750
literally break the

31
00:00:33.750 --> 00:00:35.541
car apart and test

32
00:00:35.541 --> 00:00:36.125
every

33
00:00:36.125 --> 00:00:37.333
functioning part of the

34
00:00:37.333 --> 00:00:38.500
car to make sure that

35
00:00:38.500 --> 00:00:39.625
it performed properly.

36
00:00:39.958 --> 00:00:41.000
That is, they'll test

37
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:41.500
the brakes.

38
00:00:41.958 --> 00:00:43.041
Did the brakes respond

39
00:00:43.041 --> 00:00:43.916
quickly enough?

40
00:00:43.916 --> 00:00:45.625
Did the brakes respond

41
00:00:45.625 --> 00:00:46.375
appropriately?

42
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:47.833
That is a key

43
00:00:47.833 --> 00:00:48.458
to these cases.

44
00:00:48.666 --> 00:00:49.416
These are products

45
00:00:49.416 --> 00:00:50.500
liability cases.

46
00:00:51.083 --> 00:00:52.125
And our experts at

47
00:00:52.125 --> 00:00:53.458
McCutcheon-Hamner will

48
00:00:53.458 --> 00:00:55.333
help us establish that

49
00:00:55.333 --> 00:00:56.583
the product failed.

50
00:00:57.166 --> 00:00:58.291
That is, it didn't

51
00:00:58.291 --> 00:00:59.833
perform as it was

52
00:00:59.833 --> 00:01:01.041
manufactured to do.
