When you get into your car, you expect your car to operate as it is intended to operate — safely. You expect all the various parts and components to operate safely. However, when a car part malfunctions and results in a car accident, who is to blame? Are you responsible for the damages caused by a defective car part?

Anytime you are involved in a Sacramento car accident; you want a personal injury attorney on your side to determine who is responsible for the damages. You want an attorney who will protect your right to receive a full settlement for your losses. Someone who understands how to investigate car accidents and fight insurance companies for a fair settlement. If you are injured in a car accident, call (916) 999-9000 to talk to a Sacramento car accident attorney at no charge.

Defective Car Part Accidents

When you hear about car accidents, you typically assume that one or more drivers were negligent in causing the collision. However, some car accidents are the result of defective auto parts. A defect in the design or a manufacturing flaw can result in a dangerous car part. Sometimes the defective car part may not cause the accident, but it may result in an injury that is much worse.

For example, you may be familiar with the lawsuits regarding Takata airbags. These lawsuits allege that a defect in the airbag causes severe injuries or death from metal shards when the airbag inflates. A recent example of a defective car causing an accident was last year when actor Anton Yelchin was killed when his Jeep Cherokee crushed him in his driveway. Just this past December, defective tires were a contributing factor in a rollover accident.

Other defective parts that could cause a crash or result in additional injuries in a crash include defective wiring, cooling fan problems, steering issues, defective brakes, seat belts, and defective accelerator controls. If any part or system on a vehicle is defective, it places the driver, passengers, and others on the road at risk for injuries from a defective car part accident.

Why Are Some Car Parts Defective?

There are several reasons why a car part may be defective. The part might be defective in the design itself, meaning the car part would not function properly even if it were manufactured exactly as it was intended. Other car parts may be defective because of a problem with the manufacturing. For instance, the manufacturing changes a specification or uses sub-standard materials when building the car part. Additionally, a part may be defective because it was installed improperly.

Determining why a car part is defective is crucial. You must know why the part was defective and how the defect occurred to determine who is liable for damages. You can only recover damages for your car accident from the party who is responsible for the defect.

An experienced Sacramento defective car parts attorney can investigate the circumstances of your accident to determine if a defective part was a factor and to identify the responsible party. Your attorney can then file a claim against the responsible parties to hold them liable for your losses, injuries, and damages.

I sat down and met with Jelena Tiemann about my vehicle accident.I presented all of my documentation to her in which she gave me her assessment.Although the Tiemann Law Firm wont be representing me because my settlement offer was pretty good she was very clear,forward and professional about what she felt could and couldn't be done.I recommend this law firm to anyone who needs a helping hand at fighting a case where you don't have to worry about the outcome not going in your favor. Please don't review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you're connected in any way to the owner or employees.

The Tiemanns were referred to me by a friend and I am exceptionally happy with the service I received. I had never been in an accident before. I had no idea what to do. Jelena verbally explained how everything would work to me, and she and Peter handled everything. I didn't have to lift a finger once. They went above and beyond for me and I am extremely grateful. I pray I won't ever need this type of assistance again, but I will definitely be referring them to friends and family.

I highly recommend The Tiemann Law Firm! I had never before been in a situation where I sustained injury and had to seek legal representation. I was nervous, traumatized, and had no idea what to expect. Jelena, Peter, and their staff walked me through each step of the process. They explained everything in detail. They patiently answered all my questions, responded quickly to every email, text message, phone call, etc. I felt totally prepared for each new phase of the legal process. Furthermore, they were fearless in their defense of me. In certain situations, when I felt attacked or scared my attorney protected me like I was family. Their diligence, honesty, integrity, and compassion provided a true sense of healing and closure for my family and I. The Tiemann Law Firm accomplished more for me than I ever thought possible and I am forever grateful.

From the very start of my case the Tiemann Law Firm was wonderful. Perter came all the way to my home to sit down and talk to me about my options. He made me and my partner feel very comfortable and promised us he would take the very best care of my case. Peter kept me informed every step of the way and was always on top of things. everything was done in a timely manor and I always felt like I was the only case he was working on because he was so fast. In the end Peter got me back way more money than I ever expected. I would recommend this law firm to everyone. I am very happy with the outcome of my case thanks to the Tiemann Law Firm! Thank you!

No one wants to have to hire a lawyer, but if you do. I prefer Tiemann Law. They helped a family member who was injured on the job, and the company did not want to compensate him even though, the injury occurred on the job on company time. Jelena was always professional in explaining the lengthy process of fighting a large corporation. 2 years later he finally is receiving the deserved compensation.

I just saw my lawyer Jelena Tiemann on a t.v ad, which reminded me how much she helped when I was in a desperate situation. I just love her! That is why I feel a need to tell everyone. I had a situation that happened & didn’t know what to do, our where to go. I didn’t even know if she could help me or if any lawyer could. All I wanted was it to go away & was afraid most lawyers wanted to drag it out & possibly go to court. For one she was very professional but was very personable (maybe b.c she’s a lady). She didn’t make me feel embarrassed or self-conscious that I did something wrong or was the cause of the situation. She immediately said we should try our best before going to court. Let me handle some paperwork, if at the last we do go to court we have documents. She gave me all the details, pros and cons but reassured me she deals with these cases all the time. She came through and made it as painless as possible. I now have my life back.

I was in a car accident a while back where I was injured and had to miss work for an extended period of time.  After nearly a year of fighting with the insurance company with no results and no progress, I met with Jelena Tiemann.  I couldn't have asked for a more responsive and supportive advocate.  We quickly reached a settlement and I finally was able to move from the stress and burden of feuding with my insurance.  I highly recommending meeting with Jelena if you're in need of a lawyer.
