Automobile Defects and Malfunctions
Many occupations require a person to drive offsite to accomplish essential work functions. While this
can provide a much needed break from the day, it also exposes workers to an increased risk of suffering
serious physical injury. Automobile accidents are consistently among the leading causes of accidental
death, and if your loved one has been tragically killed in the course of work related duties, the shock
is likely to be substantial.
If the vehicle belonged to the deceased’s employer and there are indications that a lack of proper oversight
on the part of the company led to the crash, such as negligent maintenance, then it may be appropriate
to file a wrongful death lawsuit against the company. Otherwise, if an automobile defect or malfunction
is responsible then you may wish to pursue a legal action against the carmaker. Contact the Pennsylvania

Common Auto Defects and Malfunctions
The machinery and systems involved in the operation of a motor vehicle are incredibly complex and this
creates a situation in which there is a diverse collection of things that can potentially go awry. Sometimes
the effects can be fairly minor and do not prevent a driver from safely reaching his or her destination,
but in other cases they can cause accidents or make it impossible for a driver to avoid them. Common
defects and malfunctions include:
- Brake Malfunction
- Seatbelt Defects
- Airbag Defects
- Brake Light Defect
