How Safe Are the Cars We Drive?
Unsafe vehicle designs or defective automotive components play a role in many of the most serious auto accidents on the road today.
If you have been seriously injured in a motor vehicle accident of any type, your choice of legal representation is important. Even if you think your accident was not that complicated, it still matters. If you choose a lawyer who does not have the experience it takes to see design problems and auto defects where they exist — you're going to get hurt again.
A Different Level of Experience, Knowledge and Resources
An engineering expert can help others understand why cars crash. In fact, a plaintiff making an auto defects claim must have an expert who will testify that the car or a particular component was defective or flawed in some way, that the defect or flaw contributed to the accident and that there is a feasible alternative design that would have made the product safer.
But in court, in front of a jury, expert testimony can only take you so far.
Terry O'Reilly, founding attorney of the law firm O'Reilly Collins, started teaching vehicle dynamic courses long ago and has actually been racing classic cars himself for more than 20 years. Simply put, this knowledge makes us more effective trial lawyers. Decades of experience means that we also know who the best experts are for testimony. And the combination of these two assets is something that has consistently and continually benefited our clients over the years.
