Inclement Weather and Auto Defects
Most drivers understand that inclement weather can make road conditions hazardous for themselves, other drivers, and pedestrians. Slick roads and poor visibility can affect drivers’ ability to operate their vehicles, so many people exercise additional caution in the event of rain, snow, or fog. However, careful driving cannot always compensate for a defective vehicle.
Auto defects can cause serious motor vehicle accidents, especially if weather conditions are less than ideal. It is the responsibility of automobile manufacturers to responsibly design, construct, and test vehicles before releasing them for consumer purchase.

Auto Defects
During poor weather conditions, it is important for your vehicle’s systems to function properly. This is especially true for safety features such as:
- Headlights
- Windshield wipers
- Anti-lock brakes
- Tires
- Seatbelts
If your windshield wipers, brakes, lights, or tires fail to function in the intended manner, the likelihood of a serious accident may increase greatly. If such systems are found to be defective or incorrectly designed, the vehicle manufacturer may be held accountable for injuries and damage caused by the accident.
