Have You Heard About This Steering Knuckle Failure?
Mark A. Steinberg
Recalls
Most of the time, a person can drive a car off the lot, keep it for years, and never have a problem. They travel from here to there and everywhere without incident, that is, providing that a human error doesn't become a piece of the equation. However, there are instances where accidents come to fruition, and people don't do anything wrong. Sometimes, vehicles contain faulty parts that break. When that occurs while they are moving, drivers and passengers get thrust into harm's way. Yes, manufacturers put cars through rigorous tests and inspections before they hit the open market. Yet, on occasion, a lemon slips through the cracks. Many times, the companies don't know about the problems until it is too late. Then again, in some instances, the powers that be know exactly what is going on, but they neglect to tell consumers, the NHTSA, or anyone else. They don't pull cars off the market because that will cut into their profits.
For example, it came out that some people at Takata knew about the airbag canister problem but just let it be, and we all know how that turned out. Manufacturer negligence can lead to auto accidents with injuries. Not all organizations try to get something over on customers, though. That is why new recalls become issued, what seems like daily. The companies want to get cars with issues off the streets and fixed before disasters strike.
Speaking Of Recalls
Volkswagen of America, Inc., is expected to begin recall number 40Q7 on March 26, 2021. There are a potential 10,303 affected units, and the ones in question are...
• 2021 Atlas Vehicles
• 2020-21 Atlas Cross Sport Vehicles
These autos have front steering knuckles that might fracture near the strut mounting. If that happens, drivers can lose control of the cars and crash. Those that want to learn more about this situation can check out the NHTSA campaign. They only need to put the number of 21V026000 into the search box on the website or click here, but now, this article will head in a different direction.
Have You Been Injured In An Accident Because Of Manufacturer Negligence?
Florida citizens that sustain severe injuries in wrecks where manufacturers are to blame may be entitled to fair compensation, and even if recalls were issued on their vehicles. To win such lawsuits, victims must prove they did not have prior knowledge of the recall or that their injuries occurred before it was issued. We get it, that sounds like a tall order, but it doesn't have to be.
Floridians don't have to face these situations alone. Instead, they can put an accident lawyer from our firm on their side, and the professional will fight tooth and nail to recover the compensation they deserve. Manufacturers tend to have legal teams standing by to discredit claims. They twist and distort the truth to make it seem as if victims are at least partially to blame. When successful, this action prevents their clients from paying fair settlements.
Heck, sometimes, it helps them avoid paying anything altogether. Those are the last things injured parties need. After all, they often lose wages after crashes, and medical bills pile up to the sky. Please, don't allow these organizations and attorneys to take advantage of you in your time of need. Rather, give us a call and give your case the best chance to succeed. The initial consultation is free, and you only pay if you win. So, what are you waiting for? Contact the office and schedule an appointment today.
