Vehicle Safety Defect Cases When the Result Means Everything™

Dallas Auto Products Liability Lawyers

Car Defect Lawyers Handling Cases Nationally

The law requires that cars, trucks and SUVs be designed to meet certain specifications to protect occupants in a crash, but safety systems may prove inadequate. Air bags may fail to deploy, handling or stability problems may cause a high clearance vehicle to roll over, or roof supports are inadequately designed to protect the occupants in a crash. These situations may all be the result of a defect in the vehicle.

Our lawyers handle cases involving vehicle defect claims ranging from cars, trucks and SUVs to buses and heavy equipment all over the country. We have experience with all types of defect claims including crashworthiness, handling and stability, safety systems defects dealing with restraints, air bags, and side curtain airbags, tire defects, glass defects, and structural defects.

Justice Served:

Record Verdicts Achieved
  • For their successful pursuit of justice in the face of adversity, Lyons & Simmons attorneys Michael Lyons, Chris Simmons, Chris Carr, and Stephen Higdon have been awarded the Dallas Trial Lawyers Association’s prestigious 2021 John Howie Award. The honor is based on the trial team’s work representing an Alabama mother who lost three children in a tragic West Texas highway accident.
  • In a case that drew national attention, Lyons & Simmons attorneys Michael Lyons, Chris Simmons, Chris Carr, P. Wes Black, and Michael Wozniak won a record-setting $109.5 million verdict against CPS Energy after proving the company’s failure to maintain its gas system led to a devastating explosion and fire. The result not only delivered justice for the victims — it set a new standard for accountability in the utility industry.

  • The firm secured a landmark jury verdict for a client whose life was permanently changed after systemic hospital failures caused a nearly five-hour delay in emergency surgery, resulting in catastrophic paralysis. The case brought to light serious breaches of hospital policy and was recognized by Courtroom View Network as one of the nation’s top verdicts of 2022.
