Crashworthiness and Negligence

Federal Vehicle Safety Standard 206 established crashworthiness rules and regulations for door locks and door retention in the early 1970s. Automakers are required to create door latches for autos that can withstand an inertial load that is 30 times the force of gravity during an auto accident. If a victim is injured due to a defective door latch, they can receive compensation from the automakers for their damages.

A defective door latch occurs when there are:

  • Flaws in design
  • Shoddy manufacturing
  • Insufficient warning or direction for safe use
  • Mechanical or technological failure

Victory Law Group, LLP works with engineers, medical experts, accident reconstruction specialists, and other professionals to investigate door latch failure claims. We can prove cause, liability and negligence of the automakers for you. Victory Law Group, LLP will ensure that automakers pay for your damages due to a defective door latch.

FAQ
How Do I Find The Best Attorney For My Case?
Attorneys may spend months and sometimes years with their client so it is important that you find an attorney who you work well with. The best way to do that is to come in and meet your attorney and see if he works well with you. Free consultations provide you with not only a chance to ask initial questions, but also a chance to get to know the type of person you’ll be working with.
How Long Will My Case Take To Be Completed?
Due to the unique nature of each case, there’s no exact timeframe for the completion of cases. Often cases are settled between parties before reaching the trial stages, but complex cases might take years to be resolved. This is another reason why it is so important to seek representation to put in the time it takes in winning your case.
What is Expected From Me As A Client?
Cooperation with your attorney is critical to reaching the best possible result for your case. Your attorney will need you to be ready to answer questions, provide documents, and be available to meet at the office. Depending on the needs of your case, you may have to appear in court. Your attorney will keep you informed along the way and help work out a suitable strategy for your case.
How Much Do I Need To Pay For My Personal Injury Case?
In a personal injury case, attorneys do not collect money from you until you’ve won your case. This type of arrangement, known as a “contingent fee” allows you to get help on your case right away and needing only to share a fraction of your awarded sum.
