Product Liability & Crashworthiness in Car Accident Claims
We work with car accident reconstructionists and we run our own investigations to find out exactly what happened and what was the cause of the car accident and your injuries. Most car accident lawyers in Miami look only at the liability that falls on the driver. A car component is rarely investigated in a crash. We do all that, and we are committed to helping you recover fair compensation from car insurance and health insurance companies that will always try and give you less than what you and your family deserve.
Injuries caused by a vehicle's crashworthiness are considered and compensated apart from the injuries that were caused by the accident itself. The distinction can be a little difficult, especially when it comes to medical proof of the extent of an enhanced injury beyond the "expected" injury.
Crashworthiness claims refer to whether the car's safety features were in a functional state at the moment of the crash, or your injuries were caused not only by the crash itself but were exacerbated by the fact that the vehicle's safety systems failed to protect you during the collision. To demonstrate these aspects, we work with engineering and medical experts and fight to ensure maximum compensation is recovered for the pain and suffering. At The Law Offices of Sean M. Cleary, we have experience in analyzing all aspects of your case.
