As Dealerships Close, Automobile Accidents Are Open For Business

On May 15, 2009, nearly 1,100 GM dealers were informed by the auto manufacture that their stores would not be renewed next year because of their operating costs, which begs the question: if General Motors and other car makers are cutting dealerships, are they cutting things like safety features that will protect motorists in an automobile accident.

Our car accident lawyers believe that when car manufactures are looking to reduce their costs, especially in the midst of an economic recession like the current one, a lot of the time protective measures are stripped from the automobiles, and these design defects make them prone to injuries in car accidents.GM has closed about 2,000 car dealers in one week, so think about how many airbags, rear-impact and side impact safety features could be cut or reduced in quality from the company’s automobiles in the same amount of time.

Along with Chrysler, GM dealers employ an estimated 89,000 workers and with less people on the dealership floors, more franchises might push customers to buy unsafe cars that can cause personal injuries and wrongful death in an effort to save the business.

As car accident lawyers, we believe that everyone looking to buy a new car should thoroughly research all options, taking into consideration safety features that help prevent personal injuries and wrongful deaths during an auto accident, before deciding to purchase a car.
