New Orleans Auto Defect Attorney: Cars and Trucks
Sometimes it's not just the car accident that causes the pain — cars that are dangerously designed or defective cause serious injuries and even death.
Even if the design of a car or truck is in compliance with federal safety standards, car and truck manufacturers can still be held financially liable for injuries and fatalities caused by design flaws or defective auto parts.
Our New Orleans area law firm has successfully handled a wide range of these auto defect cases. Working with design engineers, consumer advocacy groups, and auto safety experts, we expose design flaws and defective auto parts that cause injuries and death.
As your attorney, Glenn C. McGovern will establish what dangers car makers foresaw - or should have foreseen - in the design of their vehicles, but did nothing to minimize or remove.
If you have been injured or have lost a family member due to a auto defect or car design flaw, contact personal injury lawyer Glenn C. McGovern today to schedule a free consultation to discuss your case.
Auto Defects - Negligence on the Part of Auto Manufacturers
In three decades of legal practice, our founding attorney, Glenn C. McGovern, has helped numerous clients seriously injured by car and truck defects. As new cars are continually developed, we persist in representing people injured by defective parts:
- Tire blowouts
- Ford Mustang and Ford Crown Victoria fuel tank fires
- SUV and pickup truck roof crushes in rollovers
- Defective airbags
- Defective seatbelts
- Defective windshields
- Defective brakes
- Trucks without a Mansfield bar
One Success Story — Changing the Ford Crown Victoria
Widely known for his success in the large-scale car defect case, Glenn C. McGovern has appeared on the "CBS Evening News with Dan Rather" on a TV investigative story on Crown Victoria Police Interceptor fires and officer deaths. These serious injuries and fatalities were due to fuel tank integrity issues, where rear-mounted fuel tanks would explode if the car was hit from behind in an accident.
While a car may be advertised with a "5 star rating" for crashworthiness, cars are only tested for front crashworthiness — not rear crashworthiness. They may be much less safe if hit from behind, as was the case with Ford Mustangs and Crown Victoria Police Interceptors.
