Exposing the Flaws in “Smart” Safety Systems
Crash Avoidance Technology Failures
Crash avoidance systems are designed to prevent accidents before they happen. From automatic emergency braking and lane departure warnings to adaptive cruise control and blind spot monitoring, these technologies promise safer roads. But when cars are not properly equipped, or when the systems fail, the results are devastating — high-speed collisions, rollovers, and catastrophic injuries that could have been prevented.
At McCartney Stucky, we handle complex litigation involving defective crash avoidance technology. Our attorneys partner with top automotive engineers and safety experts to uncover design flaws, sensor errors, and system failures that manufacturers too often overlook. When automakers put profits over safety, we hold them accountable.
Cases We Take in Crash Avoidance Technology Failures
Automatic Emergency Braking Defects
Systems that fail to detect obstacles or stop the vehicle in time, leading to severe rear-end and intersection crashes.
Lane Departure Warning/Assistance Failures
Malfunctions that cause vehicles to drift into oncoming traffic or roadside hazards.
Blind Spot Monitoring Errors
Failure to alert drivers to vehicles in adjacent lanes, resulting in high-impact side collisions.
Adaptive Cruise Control Malfunctions
Sudden acceleration, late braking, or complete failure to adjust speed, creating life-threatening situations.
Pedestrian Detection Failures
Systems that fail to recognize pedestrians, cyclists, or motorcyclists, causing avoidable tragedies.
