Defective Product/Vehicle Design/Crashworthiness
In another case, our client suffered brain damage when his SUV was struck causing his head to strike the AB Pillar which was unpadded. Bryan W. Crews & Associates proved the auto company knew the padding of the interiors of its vehicles, including support structures, was vital to user safety. We further proved through testing on dummies, that had the interior structures (B-Pillar) been properly padded, our client would not have suffered brain damage.
A defective vehicle design results in a potential product liability case for the enhanced injuries in a vehicle that would not have been present if the vehicle had been designed safely. These defective vehicle design cases are known as crashworthiness cases. Had the vehicle been crashworthy, our clients would not have suffered enhanced injury or may have been injury free or simply, may have survived! Bryan W. Crews & Associates has been involved in many product liability cases involving crashworthiness.
