For most people, the safety of a vehicle is an important consideration; one of the benchmarks of automobile safety is its crashworthiness, or how well a vehicle protects its occupants in case of an accident. Features contributing to crashworthiness include airbags, seatbelts, crumple zones, and roll bars. There are two forms of crashworthiness: manufacturing defects, such as airbags that don’t work; and design defects, such as a roll bar placed in the wrong location.

Manufacturers are responsible for their vehicles being crashworthy, even if they are not aware of defects at the time of design and manufacture. If you were involved in a collision that was caused by an uncrashworthy automobile, you may be entitled to compensation under product liability laws. An attorney at the Massachusetts or Washington, D.C., offices of Pollack & Flanders can consult with you to determine the details of your case
