Auto or Truck Design Defects
Bay Area – Contra Costa County – Walnut Creek
Car manufacturers are under pressure to keep gas mileage high and prices low. As a result, they often cut corners, eliminating or reducing safety features that add weight to the car or expense to the price sticker. Such attention to the bottom line sometimes means that vehicles are released for sale with inherent defects that make cars and trucks less safe. Injuries and death are a frequent consequence of such negligence.
