In the past decade manufacturers have been held accountable by the courts for failure to meet crashworthiness standards. Some of the more frequently found problems are:

  • Roof Collapse
  • Vehicle Rollover
  • Roof Crushes
  • Lap Belt Injuries
  • Seat Back Failure
  • Side Impact Injuries
  • Defective Tires
  • Exploding Gas tanks

Besides the above, many highway design and maintenance practices have caused or contributed to Motor Vehicle accidents.
