Automobile and Tire Defects

Arizona Automobile and Tire Defect Lawyers

At the law firm of Sanders & Parks, our attorneys are ready to advocate for people who have been injured due to automobile defects or defective car or truck parts. Since 1973, we have combined the resources and knowledge of a large firm with the personal care of a small one. We understand the impact that a severe personal injury can have on a life. We know that the serious injury to, or wrongful death of, a loved one can change a family forever. Our lawyers are here to stand by your side. We are available to assist people in personal injury and wrongful death cases in Phoenix, Arizona, and throughout the United States.

Automobile defect cases are a subcategory of products liability cases. These are matters in which a product causes serious damage because it was defective, poorly designed, or improperly labeled. When this type of error is made with a car part, it can cause a serious accident.

Lately you may have heard a lot about defects in Toyota automobiles with respect to sudden acceleration and sudden veering. Toyota is taking some steps to address the problems, but we at Sanders & Parks believe more can be done, and that Toyota may not be telling the whole truth about what is causing the sudden acceleration and sudden veering problems, what it takes to fix the problems, and the vehicles which may be subject to the true scope of the problems. We are also troubled by the fact that Toyota appears to continue to consider its profits over the safety of its consumers. For example, internal Toyota documents have revealed that Toyota applauded itself for saving $100-million by avoiding a recall of its dangerous and defective vehicles. We think this kind of conduct warrants a strong message, and sending that strong message requires the right kind of litigator. That's where we come in. If you know someone who has been injured or killed in an automobile accident involving a Toyota, please contact us for a consultation. If the accident was caused in whole or in part by a Toyota, such as a rear end collision by a Toyota or a Toyota veering into another vehicle, you may still have rights to pursue claims against Toyota -- even if the underlying matter has already been settled with respect to the at-fault driver. What might have seemed like a straight-forward rear end or side-impact collision due to the driver of a Toyota being inattentive or careless could turn out to be the result of Toyota's sudden-acceleration and sudden-veering defects. Please contact us for a free consultation.

Our lawyers are available to handle any type of car accident case related to a defective part, including:

• Automobile Rollover/Vehicle Instability Cases
• 15-Passenger Van Accidents
• Automobile Roof Crush Cases
• Tire Defects including Tread Separation and Blowout Cases
• Defective Restraint Systems (Seatbelts and Airbags) and Other Safety Features
• Fuel System Failures/Gas Tank Explosions
• Unintentional Door Opening Leading to Ejection or Partial Ejection
• Tire Defect Cases, Such as Tread Separation

We handle cases against all automobile manufacturers, including Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, GM, Chevrolet, GMC, Daimler Chrysler, Dodge, Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Acura, Kia, Hyundai, BMW, Mercedes, and others.

We have an in-depth understanding of tire defect cases. Attorneys at our law firm understand the components involved in the building of a radial tire. We can tell when steps were skipped, leading to tread separation and an accident. Tread separation is when the tread literally separates from the tire leading to a blowout or serious accident. When this happens on the highway, the damage can be severe. We take these cases seriously, and would like to advocate for your rights. We will retain experts to evaluate whether the defect lies in design, manufacture, or installation of the tire. We will then handle your claim appropriately and seek recovery from all potential sources. We handle claims against Cooper Tire, Continental Tire, General Tire, Michelin Tire, Bridgestone/Firestone Tire, Goodyear Tire, Uniroyal Tire, Dunlop Tire, Kelly Springfield, Yokohama, Kumho Tire, Westlake, Compass, YKS, Chinese tire manufacturers, and other tire manufacturers, retailers, sellers and installers.

We also handle motorcycle and ATV accidents. Some ATVs, such as the Yamaha Rhino, have inherent stability weaknesses making them particularly susceptible to a rollover, and we will investigate your accident and bring claims on your behalf to help you obtain a full measure of recovery.
