Road Hazards such as obstruction, design defect, insufficient warnings, defective traffic signals, and faulty guardrails aggravate the danger that defective auto parts may bring.
Defective tires and road hazards can be overcome by following California safety road stipulations. Drivers should report defective tires to the seller or manufacturer. Such number of reports prompts state authorities to order safety recalls on vehicle manufacturers.
Safety recall an initiative of the manufacturer when a defect in a product is so threatening or widespread. Dealers and distributors are sometime called on to help in pulling out a defective product in the market.
Road hazards can be prevented by knowing the preventive measures and training in car safety. Obeying all traffic signals, wearing seat belt, avoiding DUI, and maintaining speed limit will help you develop the proper discipline and alert response system required for overcoming road hazards.
However, accidents do happen. If you are injured in a vehicular accident, you may receive compensation for the following:
- Medical and hospital expenses
- Pain and suffering
- Loss income
In filing a lawsuit you may assert a Product liability claim or Special liability.
Product liability will held the manufacturer responsible for the injuries you sustained due to defective auto parts. Special liability will held the government liable for insufficient warning signs or road design defect.
Product liability has three types: Design defect, manufacturing defect, and marketing defect.
Design defect- It refers to the flaw in the vehicle during its planning stage. The owner is held responsible for approving such hazardous design.
Manufacturing defect- This refers to the flaw in the vehicle during its production process. The owner is responsible for ensuring that every auto part adheres to standard quality and safety regulations of the state.
Marketing defect- This refers to the damage during packaging or delivery. It also refers to the flaw in posting safety reminder stickers and related product safety warning. The owner is responsible for ensuring that all safety reminders are posted readably by consumers.
You may file a Product liability claim if the accident is caused by a defective auto part. However, you may seek other sources of recovery such as special liability; if the accident is caused by or aggravated by a road design defect. Special liability claim allows you to receive compensation from the government.
Special liability covers road design defect, inadequate safety warning sings, defective traffic lights, worn out safety signs, and hazardous road construction such as median road in a hill without guard rails.
