Equipment Failure

Equipment failure can be defined as any form of malfunction or defect in a motor vehicle, or motor vehicle part that is a contributing factor in a given accident resulting in damage. In most cases, the driver will file claims with manufacturers of products, or the service technicians of these products, for fault in causing or letting motor vehicle equipment to fail. These suits may take the form of product liability claims, alongside personal injury claims in the event that equipment failure resulted in injuries. Entities from the designers of parts and products, all the way down to the sales providers of these products may potentially be held liable in the event of proven equipment failure resulting in damage, injury, or death.

Fast Facts

  • Large-scale equipment failures often result in mandatory recalls on vehicles affected, and if more than on individual was harmed prior to the recall, a class action suit may be initiated.
  • Equipment failures, or the risk of equipment failure, is not enough for a successful claim, but rather, a direct correlation between the equipment failure and damages sustained must be proven.
