When Bad Products Hurt Good People - Your Case is Our Cause
Which Law Firm Handles Injuries Caused by Defective Vehicles?
Almost every day we will use a car, truck, SUV, or any other type of automobile as a form of transportation. Motor vehicles have become a fixture of our everyday lives, however, they can be a product that causes catastrophic personal injury or wrongful death to innocent drivers and passengers if a manufacturer or dealer defect exists.
When an automobile manufacturer or car dealer provides a car that has a manufacturer defect or uses a defective component, it is strictly liable in the state of Pennsylvania for the injuries and damages that the automobile causes.
However, proving that an automobile is defective and determining product liability is a process that requires expertise and skill.
The attorneys at Schiffman Firm have the knowledge and experience and have been delivering results to victims that were injured in accidents due to defects found in a car, truck, or SUV from the manufacturer or car dealership. Our team has been able to secure multimillion-dollar settlements and verdicts for victims injured by automobiles that have been proven to have a defect.

What is "crashworthiness"?
When our personal injury attorneys enter a case that involves a potentially defective car, truck, or SUV they do a full exploratory investigation to discover if the vehicle is “crashworthy.”
Crashworthiness 1 means that a motor vehicle must be safe to withstand predictable and common real-world accidents without causing additional injury.
The attorneys at Schiffman Firm know that even the smallest of defects in your automobile can cause a minor incident to become a serious accident with deadly or life-altering injuries.
Schiffman Firm has successfully represented clients in thousands of personal injury cases, including those that were injured due to defects found in cars, trucks, SUVs, and other types of motor vehicles. Our team has been able to achieve settlements and verdicts that have resulted in millions of dollars awarded to our clients.
If you or someone you care about was injured due to a defect found in a car, truck, SUV, or any other type of vehicle, contact the attorneys at Schiffman Firm in Pittsburgh today for a free review of your case.

Even the smallest, most routine things that we interact with in our vehicles on a daily basis can cause serious injury if a defect is found from either the manufacturer or car dealership.
The personal injury attorneys at Schiffman Firm go beyond the obvious cases of any accident or injury and determine whether the slightest defect in an automobile was the cause of the accident or even made the injury worse.
With our vast network of experts in the fields of manufacturing and engineering, our team will partner with other knowledge leaders to perform a fact-finding and science-based approach to your case by obtaining the best and most relevant testing procedures to secure and document evidence to be used in your favor.
Seat Belts
A seat belt that breaks or is unable to secure properly to restrain an individual can cause catastrophic injury in the event of an accident
Car Doors
If a common car collision or accident occurs and the point of impact is at one of the doors, that door must be able to withstand the force to prevent furth injury
Airbags
Defective airbags that do not deploy or improperly deploy during an accident can cause a wide variety of injuries including concussions and traumatic brain injuries.

Tires and Tire Treads
A defective tire can cause treads to separate and create unsafe and hazardous driving conditions
Vehicle Rollover and Car Roofs
A car, truck, or SUV that was engineered improperly resulting in a poor center of gravity will be more susceptible to rolling over during a car accident which can cause additional injury to the victims involved.
Additionally, a poorly constructed vehicle roof may not be able to withstand the impact involved in a rollover accident.
Sudden Acceleration
A car, truck, or SUV that accelerates suddenly and without notice can potentially cause massive amounts of damage and injuries to the victims involved
Brakes and Braking Systems
Improperly designed or defective brakes, brake pads, braking systems can cause vehicles to stop irregularly or not at all – creating a potentially dangerous scenario while on the road
