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. Our New Orleans area law firm has successfully handled a wide range of these auto defect cases.
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
Our 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.
