An Expert Legal Team on Your Side

Not all car accidents are caused directly by a negligent driver. Some crashes are caused by vehicle defects that make the vehicle impossible to control or catch fire. Even when it seems like another driver is not at fault for your crash, it doesn’t mean that no one is. The automaker might be completely liable for your damages and losses.

Houssiere Durant & Houssiere, LLP and our Houston auto defect attorneys can help you understand your legal options after being in a crash caused by a defective vehicle or auto part. We know how to file a suit against the companies that designed, made, and/or distributed the faulty part that caused the crash. When you choose our firm, you won’t be working with just a team of attorneys. No, we stand out from other law firms because we are scientific experts, too. Trust our experience and insight to handle your claim from start to finish.

Why Science Matters in Auto Defect Cases

Automakers often refuse to acknowledge that there could be anything wrong with their products. When word of a new auto defect starts to spread, auto manufacturers often deploy a team of engineers to prove that the defect wasn’t their fault. To bring an auto defect case against them, you should be ready with a team of scientific experts and highly trained specialists, too.

At Houssiere Durant & Houssiere, LLP in Houston, we have engineers and experts with backgrounds in physics on staff. Our founder, Attorney Charles “Chip” Houssiere, has worked for NASA, too. We are ready to use our experience and higher degrees of education to your case’s advantage and show that the cause of the auto defect rests on the failure of the automaker or another corporation, not you. Arguments can often be counterargued, but concrete scientific facts can’t.

We have worked on many different auto defect cases, such as:

What to Expect in an Auto Defect Case

You should be prepared for a contested legal battle when you file an auto defect claim. Most vehicle or parts manufacturers have well-funded in-house legal teams who will do whatever they can to prevent you from prevailing. You and your legal team must be prepared to face and overcome these challenges.

A defective vehicle claim will require a more in-depth and technical investigation of the accident to prove the automaker’s liability. Along with our in-house experience handling product defects and scientific backgrounds, we have ties to trusted engineers who can join us to investigate and testify on your behalf. Many law firms do not have the resources or network to successfully conduct such claims. We invite you to ask us for more information about our past experience, processes, and the knowledge we have to support your auto defect claim.

Help Keep Dangerous Vehicles Off the Roads – Call Now

An auto defect claim can be the best path forward to fight for the compensation you need if you’ve been injured by a faulty vehicle or part. Your claim might also be crucial for helping other people get the compensation that they need. Definitively proving a vehicle defect might make it easier for other injury victims to sue, which then incentivizes the company to fix the underlying problem rather than just trying to bury it in their financial records. In the past, our lawyers have not only convinced companies to fix poorly designed or manufactured products, which also assisted them in creating safer products. Your decision to bring a case can cause wide-scale changes that keep all of us safer.

Houssiere Durant & Houssiere, LLP cares about making the world a better place. That’s why we take cases like yours and devote ourselves to thoroughly representing you in these difficult times. We take a team approach to each case, bringing multiple viewpoints and types of experience and expertise to the table. If you want a strong and capable team to handle your auto defect case, you found it.
