Los Angeles and Orange County Auto Defect Litigation – Product Liability Lawyer

Auto accidents can result in extensive property damage, serious injuries requiring intensive rehabilitation, and even death. When a motor vehicle accident is caused by manufacturer errors or design flaws, the automaker must be held accountable for any injuries and losses that result from its negligence.

Established in 1982, the firm of HodesMilman has represented injured victims throughout Los Angeles and Orange County in their auto defect and product liability claims. A lawyer from our firm will stand by you at every stage of the legal process and help you fight for the compensation you deserve.

Causes of Auto Defects

The major causes of auto defects are manufacturer error and design error. Manufacturing errors may occur due to employee or assembly line negligence, resulting in poorly made auto components and other auto defects. Design errors may involve poor auto part placement, timing errors in automobile components, poor weight distribution resulting in vehicle rollover, or faulty crumple zones that can aggravate rather than prevent injuries.

At our law firm serving Orange County and the greater Los Angeles area, an auto defect product liability lawyer will help determine the nature of the defect and how the defect contributed to the injuries and damage sustained in an accident. We will ensure that the auto manufacturers or designers responsible for the injuries are called to answer for their negligence.

How an Auto Defect Lawyer Can Help

A lawyer at our firm will assess how the auto defect or defects contributed to the injuries and damage suffered in an auto accident, truck accident, or motorcycle accident. The auto defect lawyer will also determine whether a manufacturing or design defect was the sole cause of the accident. Our team of product liability experts will then arrive at the amount of compensation you are entitled to given the injuries and property damage sustained.

If an auto defect has resulted in the loss of a loved one, our legal team will file a wrongful death claim against the responsible auto designer or manufacturer and aggressively pursue compensation to help mitigate the costs associated with your tragic loss.
