What if my child’s injuries were made worse because the vehicle had a safety defect?

If a safety defect in the vehicle — such as a malfunctioning airbag, a defective seatbelt, or a structural failure — worsened your child’s injuries in an otherwise survivable crash, you may have additional claims against the vehicle manufacturer under Georgia’s product liability statute (O.C.G.A. § 51-1-11). These claims can be pursued simultaneously with the negligence claim against the at-fault driver. Haug Barron Law Group will investigate every aspect of your child’s case to identify all responsible parties and all available avenues of recovery.
