Establishing Fault and Liability in an Auto Defects Case
In an auto defects case, one or more parties may be liable for your car accident. Our legal team will conduct a thorough investigation to determine who the at-fault party is and how their negligence or careless actions led to your injuries. At-fault parties may include one or more of the following:
The Auto Manufacturer
The manufacturer is responsible for assembling the vehicle and ensuring that all components are in proper working order. Auto part recalls are likely with the thousands of vehicles in production each year. Unfortunately, it is possible that you suffered from an auto defect before the manufacturer discovered the problem and took action to prevent accidents.
The Auto Part Designer
Manufacturers often hire in-house teams or third parties to design parts. Sadly, some auto part designs are not adequate for daily use. As a result, accidents happen. If you were injured due to a flawed design, you could hold the designer legally liable for your damages.
The Dealer
Dealers are often not responsible for auto defects because they simply do not know they exist. However, some car dealers will sell a car with known mechanical issues. They either downplay the issue or go as far as to cover it up. If so, the dealer may be legally liable for your injuries.
Regardless of who is liable for your injuries, Tom Ueberschaer will aggressively pursue compensation from the at-fault party and hold them accountable for their negligence or reckless actions.
What Damages Can I Claim in an Auto Defect Accident Case?

How Tom Ueberschaer Can Help You with Your Case
To win your case, our law firm must establish that an auto defect led to your injuries. We must demonstrate that the manufacturer’s, designer’s, or dealer’s negligence or careless action is what caused the accident. Our legal team can manage your accident claim in the following ways:
Conduct a Thorough Investigation of the Accident
We can launch an investigation into the defective product by looking at product designs, manufacturing documents, recalls or other evidence related to the auto part in question.
Hire an Expert Witness
Proving an auto defect can be difficult. Therefore, we can hire an automotive expert to investigate the case and help us prove that the defective part caused the accident. This may include downloading important data stored inside your car’s electronics.
Review Additional Evidence
We can interview eyewitnesses, request a copy of the police report or view video footage of the accident. We gather all forms of evidence needed to help us support your accident claim.
Determine Your Case Value
Do not let the insurance company tell you what your case is worth. Let our lawyer calculate the economic damages and estimate your non-economic damages to determine how much compensation you deserve.
