It seems like we hear about more and more recalls from car manufacturers then ever before. Some of these defects are minor. Some of these defects can cause a safety hazard in your vehicle and cause or contribute to your accident.<\/p>\n

For example, the brakes could fail, the airbags could not deploy, the seat belts<\/a> do not work or the steering could lock. Defects could cause an accident or worsen your injuries.<\/p>\n

If you suspect a defect it is important to retain an expert immediately. An engineer needs to inspect the vehicle for defects prior to it being destroyed. If you believe your vehicle was defective causing an\u00a0accident or injuries<\/a>, contact the team at Diamond & Diamond\u2122<\/a>.<\/p>\n\t
