Even in cities as quaint as Provo, auto accidents—oftentimes fatal, unfortunately—are a regular, daily occurrence. More often than not, drivers are to blame. Texting, inebriation and even road rage all play their respective roles in causing automotive travesty. That being said, a sliver of auto accidents come about because of something completely out of the control of any and all involved motorists: manufactural malfunctions.
Seeing as how each and every lawyer here at Robert J. DeBry & Associates is wholeheartedly dedicated to helping Utahans—be they from the aforementioned Provo or elsewhere—overcome the painful aftermath of an accident, it hurts us to learn of legislative rulings which makes keeping America’s many roads safe.
Recently, the Senate Committee on Commerce voted against a proposal making it a crime for automotive manufacturers to knowingly withhold information on product and safety defects. Additionally, the aforementioned committee also voted down a law that would prevent used car dealerships from pushing cars with known unprepared recalls.
With this year having been one of the worst in recent history for auto recalls, many people are finding themselves in desperate need of legal help. If you or a loved one currently finds themselves in such a situation, come speak with an auto accident lawyer in any one of our four offices all across Utah.
