If you have been injured by a dangerous or defective product, a product liability case can be filed against a number of different of responsible parties involved in the manufacturing, marketing and sale of the dangerous product involved.
Companies responsible in any given case may include a manufacturer of component parts, an assembling manufacturer, the wholesaler and the retail seller. Pierce M. Adkins regularly confronts some of the largest corporations in America and abroad in pursuit of fair compensation for clients who have suffered serious or catastrophic injury, including traumatic brain injury (TBI) and/or spinal cord injury. Automotive manufacturers are huge corporations. They have in-house legal counsel, a seemingly endless supply of money to litigate cases, scores of engineers, and extensive other intellectual and economic resources to defend against your claim. That is why in order to bring a successful car defect claim, your injuries need to be significant. If they are not, the amount of money spent on litigation would greatly exceed your financial recovery. Mr. Adkins' has successfully negotiated settlements in the millions of dollars for products liability and premise liability cases.

Post-Recall Rights
Since the mid-1960s, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has recalled millions of motor vehicles and equipment because of safety-related auto defects or because they were not manufactured according to Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Recall remedies do not affect your remaining legal rights. Despite government regulation of motor vehicle design and manufacturing, cars, trucks and automotive parts are frequently recalled because of defects, including defective design and manufacturing defects. Some auto defects never result in recalls despite causing serious accidents. Typically, car manufacturers can choose from three recall remedies depending on the nature of the defect.
Repair the defect free of charge
Replace your car or equipment free of charge
Refund your purchase (minus a certain amount for depreciation)
Unfortunately, the system cannot remove every faulty motor vehicle or defective automotive part from the road before serious accidents occur. As a result, most recalls are initiated after many people have already died or been injured in accidents that are attributed to defective auto parts or designs.People who are injured because of auto defects in Texas, or the families of those who are killed in accidents caused by defects, have the right to seek compensation for their losses. If you or a loved one are injured due to a car or car equipment defect the manufacturer may and should be sued. These lawsuits can recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages from time off work, and other injurydamages.
