Isn’t it hard to take on a car manufacturer in a legal case involving defective auto parts?

Car manufacturers have the financial wherewithal to fight auto defect claims vigorously, but as explained above, the doctrine of “strict liability” levels the legal playing field for ordinary citizens seeking just compensation for their injuries. Formerly, a plaintiff had to show willful negligence on behalf of the defendant, which can be extremely difficult and prohibitively expensive to prove in court. Today, the legal focus is on the product: why did the part fail, and who is responsible for the injuries that failure caused? Having said this, pursuing such claims requires resources and expertise. You need financial resources to investigate and press forward with a claim, as well as the expertise to properly research all of the facts and develop a solid strategy prior to commencing a lawsuit against the manufacturer. A case that is well researched and thoroughly investigated has much better chances of success against a large product manufacturer and their insurer. Hiring an experienced auto defect attorney is crucial in product liability cases against car manufacturers.
