Making a Case Against the Manufacturer Free Case Evaluation • Statewide
1-800-529-8883
If a loved one was injured or killed because of a dangerous vehicle defect or the failure of safety equipment, the Law Office of Mitchell Fox provides aggressive representation in making a claim for damages against those responsible.
We are not intimidated by automakers, component manufacturers and their insurance companies. They will mount a serious defense, but our pursuit of compensation is every bit as vigorous. We have a solid record of settlements and verdicts to show for it. A lawsuit is filed when it becomes clear that litigation is a means to an end. Instead of wasting valuable time hoping the case will settle, contact Mitchell Fox so that he can take immediate action to file a lawsuit and preserve evidence that could make or break your case.
Based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, our firm handles defective vehicle cases throughout Florida and nationwide:
- Tire blowouts (including Firestone, Dunlop, and Cooper)
- Roof crush
- Windshield glass
- Vehicle stability
- Airbag injuries
- Child safety seats
- Brake defects
- Crashworthiness
The Law Office of Mitchell Fox pursues manufacturer and seller liability in car, van, and pickup accidents; SUV rollovers; motorcycle crashes; bicycle accidents; 3-wheeler and 4-wheeler injuries; and truck crashes.
Investigation of Auto Defects
In motor vehicle defect cases, the plaintiff must prove:
- A design defect (the vehicle or component as designed was unreasonably dangerous), or
- A manufacturing defect (a flaw in the process of making the product), and
- That the defect caused the injury or failed to protect against injury
In the case of tire defect (e.g. tread separation), a claim would demonstrate that faulty design led to the blown tire and caused a crash. In the case of an airbag that failed to deploy, we would seek to show that the injuries would not have occurred if the air bag functioned properly. Seatbelt failure and seat back failure, as well as gas tank explosions, are other types of vehicle defect issues that can cause actionable injury.
SUV Rollover / Ford Rollover
All vehicles are rated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for vehicle stability (likelihood of rolling or flipping in a sudden swerve or collision) and crashworthy design (will the roof or frame collapse in a crash?). Sport utility vehicles rate poorly in these areas—particularly older SUVs.
Mitchell Fox examines all evidence pointing to vehicle defects, and consults with engineering and manufacturing experts who know the technical aspects of automobiles, components and related products (a child car seat, a motorcycle helmet). Contact Mitchell Fox today.
A lawsuit is filed when it becomes clear that litigation is a means to an end instead of wasting valuable time hoping the case will settle, when it won’t. Call Mitchell Fox so that he can take immediate action to preserve evidence that could make or break your case.
At a larger law firm, a senior partner may meet with you initially, then hand your case off to a paralegal or junior associate. At our firm, you are never lost in the shuffle because Mitchell Fox handles your claim personally.
A settlement claim or lawsuit against the manufacturer or dealer would request damages for medical bills and future care, lost wages and future earnings, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life.
Contact an experienced auto defect lawyer about your claim in Florida. Mr. Fox combines compassionate, personal attention with aggressive, skilled representation. We bear the costs of negotiation and litigation — you pay no fees unless we prevail on your behalf.
