Crash Avoidance System Lawyer
Were you injured because the manufacturer of your vehicle did not install crash avoidance tech? Crash avoidance systems have been added to many vehicles in recent years as technology has improved. But even cars that include this tech can malfunction, or a manufacturer may decide not to install it, resulting in a tragedy that could have been avoided with the use of a functioning, effective crash avoidance system.
Crash avoidance systems are not mandatory in vehicles in the United States. Specifically, automated emergency braking is not mandatory, but in 2016, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) persuaded twenty automobile manufacturers to include AEB in 99 percent of new cars car sold in the U.S. by September 1, 2022, according to The Honolulu Star-Advertiser.
But the inclusion of such a system is still not required by law in the United States, and if you have been involved in a car accident that involved vehicles without crash avoidance technology and were injured, you should seek legal representation.
If you or a loved one were involved in a crash that involved a car without a crash avoidance system, you may possibly have a claim that, if an auto manufacturer had included crash avoidance technology within the vehicle in question, the accident could have been avoided or the injuries or damages could have been less severe.

What if a Crash Avoidance System Was Not Installed on a Car Involved in an Accident?
If you are involved in any car crash where you were injured, you should generally seek legal representation.
In cases where one or more vehicles involved did not have crash avoidance systems, you may have a legal argument that an accident could have been avoided or the injuries or damages could have been less severe had such technology been in place.
Your safety could potentially be at stake because a manufacturer didn’t install crash avoidance technology due to high costs or other factors. The absence of a crash avoidance system could be used as part of an overall car accident case, and a skilled lawyer, like the ones at Phillips Law Group, will consider such a factor in your individual legal situation.
Defective Crash Avoidance Systems
A defective or malfunctioning crash avoidance system can also be a factor in a car accident – or in a later car accident lawsuit. A driver could assume that the system is working better than it actually is and rely on its safety features, only for tragedy to strike if the system fails.
A defective crash avoidance system can lead to accidents, serious injuries, and even death. If you were hurt in a car accident and part of a crash avoidance system involved malfunctioned, you should seek legal help to determine your options.
