Truck Litigation

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has set standards that car manufacturers must meet to receive a crashworthiness rating for different types of crashes. Vehicles are tested for their performance in frontal collisions, side-impact crashes and rear-impact crashes. Crashworthiness cases typically involve injuries that are sustained as a result of a defect in a vehicle.

If you are seriously injured in a car accident due to an auto defect, you would be wise to seek the assistance of skilled crashworthiness lawyers to guide you through the complexities surrounding your accident claim. Hogan Law Office, PC is skilled in handling all types of auto defect litigation and crashworthiness litigation.

Defective Vehicle Lawsuit

Under the crashworthiness doctrine, a manufacturer of a vehicle is liable, in negligence and/or strict liability, for the enhanced injuries sustained from the secondary collision in an accident—the passenger's impact inside the car. In certain circumstances, a crashworthiness attorney can sue for damages in a defective vehicle litigation or crashworthiness lawsuit.

As accomplished defective vehicle lawsuit attorneys, Hogan Law Office, PC bring years of experience and knowledge to the negotiating table, accompanied by a track record of proven results. Our defective vehicle attorneys are familiar with scientific and engineering principles that can help unravel how an accident occurred.
