For many years now, Lenahan & Dempsey lawyers have helped those injured by defects found in vehicles.
In doing so, we have taken on some of the largest companies and insurance companies in the world – and we obtained significant financial recoveries for our clients and their families.
Lenahan & Dempsey’s lawyers were successful in the early stages of the fight against General Motors for defective ignition switches.

Common Car/Truck/Vehicle Defects
- Defective Ignitions: Ignition switch defects can lead to unexpected engine shutdowns while driving, resulting in loss of control of the vehicle, often at highway speeds, causing crashes resulting in serious injuries or death.
- Faulty Seatbelts: Seatbelts are designed to protect occupants during a crash. However, defects such as faulty buckles, improper installation, or material failures, can lead to serious injuries or fatalities in an accident where seatbelts should have provided protection.
- Airbag Malfunctions: These are perhaps the most high-profile areas of defective products in cars, trucks, and other vehicles. Defective airbags may fail to deploy or deploy unexpectedly, posing a risk of death or serious injury to occupants.
- Brake Failures: Effective braking systems are of course crucial for vehicle safety. Defects in brake components, such as faulty master cylinders or worn-out brake pads, can lead to catastrophic accidents. Drivers relying on defective brakes may find themselves unable to stop in emergency situations.
- Tire Defects: Defective tires can suffer from blowouts, uneven wear, or poor handling, leading to loss of control and serious or deadly accidents.
In each of these cases and others that relate to defective products in vehicles, you need lawyers highly versed in product liability Law.
