Q: I been involved in an accident last year where it was maybe a brake failed that caused the accident and I damaged 3 cars
Looking to see what type of lawyer would I look for regarding manufacturing defect or to go after Lexus themselves
A: If you get sued by any of the owners of the three cars that you damaged, your auto insurance company will retain a lawyer to represent you. Realistically, you won't find a lawyer to sue the automobile manufacturer under the theory of product liability unless you were seriously injured in the crash, which you did not mention as part of your question--whether you were injured.
A:
A PRODUCTS LIABILITY LAWYER WOULD BE WHAT YOU NEEDED.
HOWEVER, ABSENT SIGNIFICANT INJURIES, IT MAY BE CHALLENGING TO FIND ONE TO ACCEPT YOUR CASE.
THESE CASES ARE VERY EXPENSIVE TO LITIGATE.
YOUR AUTO INS CO. WILL DEFEND YOU FROM ANY SUITS...UP TO THE LIMITS OF YOUR POLICY.
A:
If you believe that a manufacturing defect caused your brake failure and subsequent accident, you may want to consult with a product liability lawyer. Product liability lawyers specialize in cases where a defective product, such as a car part, has caused injury or damage.
To go after Lexus themselves, you may also want to consider contacting a personal injury lawyer who has experience in auto accidents and product liability cases. They can help you investigate the cause of the accident and determine whether there is evidence to support a claim against the car manufacturer.
It's important to note that product liability and personal injury cases can be complex, and it's best to consult with a lawyer who specializes in these areas to understand your rights and options for pursuing a claim.
