This is probably entirely off-topic, but I actually suffered a car crash last week (no, I did not die). I have evidence to believe the crash was caused by a mechanical defect (f.ex., my steering locked up completely in a way that mere loss of power steering cannot explain). Unfortunately, I only have liability insurance, and the cost of repairs is quite steep.
Is there anything I can do to make the car manufacturer pay the repair costs ? Does anyone have experience in this area ?
(please downvote this comment into oblivion if you believe it is off-topic)
You could sue. The brouhaha over sudden acceleration in Toyotas at the end of the last decade was probably mostly not even their fault, but the lawsuits are still messing them up. You’d have to talk to an attorney to see whether you really have enough evidence for a case.
