Victoria Defective Vehicle Attorneys
Holding Negligent Manufacturers Accountable Nationwide
While vehicles today are safer than they once were, vehicle defects continue
to endanger lives. Since the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration
began setting vehicle safety standards in 1966, hundreds of millions of
motor vehicles have been recalled to repair defects. That doesn’t
include the millions of defective tires and other pieces of vehicle equipment,
such as child seats, that have also been recalled.
If you have been seriously injured or a loved one has died because of a defective vehicle or vehicle part, contact the Victoria dangerous vehicle lawyers of Cole, Cole, Easley & Sciba, P.C. today for a free initial consultation and case evaluation. We have decades of experience working for clients injured by a variety of vehicle defects. Whether you were injured because an airbag failed to deploy, bad brakes, a faulty fuel system, or any other defect, our attorneys can help.
Manufacturers’ defects can include:
- Crashworthiness

- Defective seatbelts
- Poorly made tires
- Faulty fuel systems
- Defective brakes

A History of Negligence
Vehicle manufacturers have a long history of ignoring obvious safety issues in order to save money in production. Early cases include the Ford Pinto, which went into production despite a defect in the fuel system that caused the gas tank to leak — and explode — in rear-end collisions. The company was aware of the design flaw and still released the car for sale.
Litigation Saves Lives: Why File a Defective Vehicle Lawsuit?
Because of these early cases, vehicles have become safer. Changes brought about by litigation help save lives and prevent injuries. Still, all too often vehicle manufacturers ignore safety issues and provide dangerous vehicles to the public.
Some of our more recent manufacturer defect lawsuits have included:
- Ford Explorer and other SUV rollovers
- Chevrolet Pick Up gas tank cases
- Firestone and other tires
- Four Wheelers and ATVs

In 2021, I was hit by an 18-wheeler, suffered a head injury, and was taken to a nearby trauma ER. As soon as I could do so, I contacted Jim Cole. Jim, supported by Will, Evan, Chuck, Luther, and all of Cole, Cole, Easley, and Sciba, provided unparalleled legal expertise, which resulted in a very favorable outcome for me. I've worked with trial lawyers on both sides of the bar, civil and criminal, all my working life. There are many good personal injury lawyers and law firms, but none finer than those at Cole, Cole, Easley, and Sciba.John R.
