Defective Car Door Lock Lawyers
Representing Clients in Denver, Co & Across the Country
One of the last things that a driver worries about is whether their car door will work during an emergency. But it is possible, and thousands of vehicles are introduced into the market by automakers without verifying the design and safety of vehicles.
When a car is involved in an accident, a driver should be able to exit the vehicle quickly. A defect in a car’s door latch or lock often prevents drivers and passengers from evacuating the vehicle and escaping further harm. Or, a faulty auto door latch can prevent a door from closing properly while a car is in motion. If you have been injured because of a defective door latch, contact our auto product liability lawyers today.
Car door defects include:
- Doors not unlocking with key fobs
- Doors randomly locking
- Doors not locking or unlocking from inside
- Door handles breaking
- Door latches not closing properly or jamming

In this case, the driver was rear ended and the driver’s seatback collapsed, causing the driver to lose control. The car rolled over and the driver’s door opened during the rollover, rendering the door mounted seat belt useless and causing the driver to become ejected. The driver suffered fatal injuries. The case against the car manufacturer settled for a confidential amount.
This vehicle’s tailgate opened up during a rollover accident, leaving a large ejection portal, resulting in the death of a child. Our research revealed numerous other accidents involving the same model vehicle in which the tailgate — made out of a fiberglass-like material — broke open. The case was resolved shortly before the scheduled trial.
