California and Nevada Wrongful Death Lawyers

Defective Automobile Attorneys

When a car manufacturer designs and builds a car, it has an obligation to assure the car will offer protection to the driver and passengers in a car crash. Not all injuries can be stopped, but when a defective auto component or safety device, seat belt, airbag or other component causes a fatal injury, people have a right to compensation. If a loved one has been killed in an accident involving a defective auto, the family has a wrongful death claim against the auto manufacturer.

Helping Victims' Families Since 1959

At Walkup, Melodia, Kelly & Schoenberger, our attorneys have handled auto defects claims and lawsuits for families whose loved ones have died in crashes against almost all of the major auto manufacturers. Sometimes the design is at fault. Sometimes the manufacturer didn't want to spend the few cents or a dollar that a safe alternative would have cost. At other times, the manufacturing process or materials are faulty. Whatever the case, the manufacturer should have exercised greater care. Our auto defect attorneys have handled cases involving a wide range of defects:

  • SUV Rollovers
  • Seat Belt Failures
