The approval of the sale of Chrysler’s assets to a new company run by Fiat has led to two things: a possible new way for car makers to do business as well as eliminating products liability lawsuits by people with personal injury from defective Chrysler products.
Unfortunately, this means people who own a Chrysler, Dodge or Jeep have lost their right to sue for product liability if they have personal injury from a design defect causing a car accident.
Our firm’s personal injury lawyers in San Diego know the bankruptcies of car makers can lead to problems for people with lawsuits from car accidents that have caused personal injury due to design defects.
Car accidents can lead to personal injury like whiplash, spinal cord injury causing paralysis (i.e. paraplegia and quadriplegia) as well as traumatic brain injury like concussions and bleeding in the brain.
Consumer groups – including Public Citizen, the Center for Auto Safety and Consumers for Auto Reliability and Safety – have objected by saying Chrysler’s request would deprive consumers of their rights to lawsuits in the event of product liability.
Another consumer concern is people already with personal injury in car accidents who have already filed suits against Chrysler claiming the vehicle had a safety design defect.
No matter the state of the economy, people with personal injury they are not responsible for should be able to hold the people responsible for their personal injury liable.
The personal injury attorneys at our San Diego law firm believe that anyone with personal injury from a car accident caused by a design defect should not have their right to sue taken away if they have a case. Car accidents can lead to crippling personal injury which can lead to high medical bills and pain and suffering.
