Top Auto Defects and Malfunctions

When you purchase a vehicle, you expect each and every one of its many parts to be functioning properly, from the engine to the airbags. Sadly, auto defects and malfunctions occur commonly, causing numerous innocent drivers in the Louisville area to be injured. Though we at the Sampson Law Firm know that drivers suffer debilitating injuries due to a large variety of auto defects, there are certain ones that tend to occur with more regularity.

Common Auto Defects

Because vehicles are so complex and made up of thousands of individual parts, they might be defective in lots of ways. Some of the more common types of auto defects however, include:

• Seat belt defects
• Brake malfunctions
• Tire defects
• Air bag defects
• Child car seat defects

Even just one of these defects in your vehicle could either cause a devastating accident or result in more severe injuries should an accident occur. Unfortunately, these and other auto defects are usually preventable.
