Windshield Installation Defects
An automobile’s windshield serves as a source of strength for the vehicle and protection for the vehicle’s occupants. Because of the great deal of stress placed on the windshield, it has to be installed in a certain way to ensure that it can properly perform its intended functions.
Unfortunately, an incorrectly installed windshield may present drivers and passengers with serious safety hazards. If you or someone you love suffered injuries in an automobile accident because the windshield was not properly installed, contact the Atlanta car accident lawyers of Webb, Wade & Taylor, LLC at 770-631-1811 for a free case evaluation.
The Effects of Windshield Installation Defects
When a windshield is incorrectly installed, it means that it may have an excessive amount of pressure on it, which could cause it to crack, shatter, or pop out of place. This is dangerous, because windshield defects may cause a number of complications in an accident, such as:
- A collapsed roof in a rollover
- Inability to protect occupants from being ejected
- Shards becoming lodged in the skin
Each of these complications may cause an individual to suffer serious injuries. In many cases, windshields are installed incorrectly when vehicle owners have their original windshield replaced, but some installation defects may occur during the vehicle’s initial manufacture.
