Frequently Asked
Questions

An auto defect claim is a product liability case against a manufacturer when a vehicle or component is defectively designed, manufactured, or marketed.

Yes. Defective safety systems or structural weaknesses can make injuries far more severe than they otherwise would have been.

Common defects include airbag failures, seatbelt malfunctions, fuel system defects, tire defects, and roof crush issues.

Liable parties may include vehicle manufacturers, parts manufacturers, distributors, or retailers.

Some do, but many defective vehicles are never recalled until after injuries occur. A recall is not required to file a claim.

Victims may recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, future care, pain and suffering, and other damages.

There are no upfront costs. We work on a contingency fee basis—you only pay if we recover compensation.

Yes. Frantz Law Group represents auto defect victims throughout California.
