Many people implicitly trust their safety and their family's safety to their cars and concern themselves only with safe driving. But is your car really safe? Shockingly, many cars have auto defects which can cause a wide range of car accidents, no matter how safely one drives.

Did an SUV roll over? An airbag fail to deploy? A tire come apart? A fuel tank explode? A seat collapse? A roof sustain severe deformation and crush? A seat belt unlatch or otherwise pop open? Unfortunately, these are just some of the incidents that can arise from auto defects. Incidents which can be avoided but befall too many innocent people everyday.

Personal injury lawyers and auto defect lawyers must pay careful attention to these issues when someone suffers a catastrophic injury or loses a friend or family member in a car accident.

Product liability expert and personal injury attorney Brian Chase's new defect book, "Still Unsafe At Any Speed" empowers readers by helping them to evaluate an auto products liability case. The book offers valuable information on the specifics of common vehicle defects and uses real-life accounts to illustrate the traffic implications of defective cars. After all, auto defects don't just concern lawyers and manufacturers. They directly affect all of our lives.

Who should be liable when a vehicle fails to adequately protect its driver and passengers? Did a manufacturer or car dealer knowingly sell you a defective vehicle that could put your family's safety at risk?
