- Putting on makeup while driving
- Road rage and aggressive driving
- Texting while driving

However, you may not be aware of these common auto defects, which could also put you at risk of experiencing a serious accident:

- Defective wipers or de-frosting mechanisms
- Defective brakes
Liability for Car Accidents Caused by Defective Parts
Any of the above could cause you to flip, roll, collide with other vehicles, or get into other expensive, injurious, and personally costly accidents. Such defects are often the result of mistakes in the manufacturing process, inherent design errors, or other failures to properly test, evaluate, and approve certain products before they hit the road. If you believe your accident may have been the result of a defective or unsafe part, the best thing you can do is get in touch with an experienced auto accident attorney.
