Responsibility for Defective Motor Vehicles

The laws governing responsibility for defective motor vehicles and what must be proven in court to establish liability vary from state to state. These are difficult cases and must be pursued as soon as possible after the serious injury or death.

Several different reasons exist for holding a party liable for harm caused by a motor vehicle defect. The three most common legal theories for finding someone liable are breach of warranty, negligence, and strict liability. An experienced products liability attorney from Altman Legal Group can advise you about the rules that apply in Texas to your situation involving a defective motor vehicle.
