When you purchase a new car in Maryland, you should be able to rest assured that the vehicle you are buying meets federally regulated safety standards. While often times this is the case, sometimes manufacturers fail to meet safety requirements due to negligent or insufficient quality control. In many cases, investigations have also discovered that auto manufacturers often know about the defects but keep it quiet.
When mistakes are made or manufactures are deceptive, the resulting vehicle defects can result in serious passenger injury or even deadly car accidents.
Our Rockville car accident attorneys have handled a wide range of Maryland and Virginia car accident claims for defective vehicles and subsequent wrongful deaths that could have been prevented, and Mr. Plotnick has the experience and knowledge to help you file your claim to get you or your loved one the reparation you may deserve in the event of one of these mishaps.
No matter what make or model vehicle you drive, you should always be mindful of possible defects, because if you are involved in an auto accident as a result of a vehicular malfunction, you may be entitled to compensation.
