Car accident claims often occur due to the negligence of a driver who fails to see another road user, or commits a vehicle offence such as speeding.
However, road traffic accidents can also take place when a car part has been poorly manufactured or incorrectly mended or replaced after a vehicle fault.
Manufacturers of car parts have a duty of care to their customers and should conduct tests on batches of the items they are producing to make sure that they are being made to a standard of quality that makes them safe for use.
Similarly, garage owners should make sure that all their employees are trained and qualified enough to be undertaking certain repairs on the vehicles which are brought in to their premises by motorists.
Failure by a manufacturing company or garage to conduct safety procedures to reduce the possibility of an accident occurring on the highway, could result in one or more individuals suffering personal injury or even dying.
In order to make a journey by vehicle as safe as possible, a driver should not only be considerate to other motorists and follow the Highway Code, but be able to rely on their transport to function in the way it is meant to.
Motorists should carry out regular maintenance and vehicle checks to make sure that everything is in safe working order, but they might not think to examine a new vehicle part put in place by a garage since they trust the manufacturer and garage's proficiency for their work.
In some cases a person may notice that their car is making unusual sounds, or does not perform as well as it did prior to the repair or replacement, and will avoid an accident by getting the part checked by another vehicle expert.
However, in other cases the motorist may not realise that anything is wrong and could drive their car until the faulty part malfunctions and causes a crash.
