Door Latch Defects

Georgia Door Latch Failure Attorneys

Harris, Penn & Lowry, LLP

If auto manufacturers rely on doors as a key part of the overall structural strength of a vehicle, shouldn't they make those doors strong enough to withstand the impact of a real-life car accident?

They should.

Do they? Not often enough.

At the law firm of Harris, Penn & Lowry, LLP, we represent clients from throughout the states of Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina, and South Carolina who have suffered serious injury or the wrongful death of a loved one due to door latch failures and flaws in their vehicle's door design.

Our experienced Georgia door latch failure lawyers can help you to recover the compensation you need in cases involving:

• Door skin defects
• Twist-outs
• Door latch failed to hold
• Failure to warn
• Defective door latches
• Auto-lock failure

A particular problem to note is the auto-lock. In cars and trucks that are not equipped with these electronic door locking devices, when you close the car door fully, the door latch engages manually. If the latch is strong enough, the door should remain locked in the event of an accident.

In vehicles that do have these devices, drivers are not warned sufficiently in many cases that unless they directly engage the locking device once the car's doors are closed, those doors will likely fly open in an accident and result in either someone being ejected from the vehicle or subjected to injuries sustained because of roof crush.

Few firms can match our experience and record of success in auto defects cases like these. This is not bragging; it is simply a fact. It's an important fact because if you are going to take on a large auto-maker or insurance company, you need to have a firm with the time, resources, and skill required to win.

We have what it takes.

Our auto defects work is provided on a contingent fee basis—this means that you will pay our firm no attorneys' fees unless we are able to obtain a verdict or settlement in your case.
