Auto parts manufacturers often employ a team of attorneys who will argue driver error or that a part failed for some other reason than its being defective. Using computer technology and design testing experts, we conduct crash tests and computer simulations to analyze all relevant variables. We investigate and uncover faulty products that failed or malfunctioned when they fail under foreseeable real-world conditions. In this way, our attorneys are prepared to take on manufacturers from a position of strength, utilizing forensic and simulation tools grounded in science and objectivity.

Our years of experience and knowledge of the issues involved in rollover cases works to your advantage. We have the legal, scientific, and technical resources necessary to show defects manufacturers made with their vehicles and demand compensation for your injuries.

- Defective Seatbelts

Seatbelts should be your first line of defense against injury in most motor vehicle accidents. Seatbelts are designed to keep you safe and secure inside the vehicle at all times, particularly during an accident, but this isn't always the case. Sometimes during a high impact accident, seatbelts can unlatch and allow a passenger to be tossed about the inside of the vehicle without any protection, or potentially ejected from the car or truck. When a seatbelt fails in a serious accident the injuries are often catastrophic and include brain injury and spinal cord damage that may result in paralysis and possibly wrongful death. We have handled numerous cases involving defective seatbelts against many of the major auto makers. We work with nationally recognized automotive design experts, engineers, and restraint system experts, we identify what led to a parts failure, why it occurred, and how it was causally related to the injuries suffered by our client.

- Roof Crush

Our firm represents clients suffering from the following kinds of injuries caused by roof crush: Broken neck; Head trauma; Disfigurement; Severe lacerations; Spinal cord injury; and Severe back injuries. We’ve taken on almost every major auto manufacturer in our pursuit of adequate compensation for our clients’ injuries. We know how to build successful cases, how to counter defense strategies employed to try to obscure issues, and what facts to present in support of our claims. Let us speak for those who no longer can speak for themselves. In the boardroom, at mediation, or in the courtroom, we will make sure the client’s story is heard.

- Negligent Security

Our seasoned lawyers represent clients injured due to the following kinds of negligent security measures: Unlocked entry way doors; Absence of security cameras; Open gates or loading bay doors; Poorly lit stairwells or parking garages; Absence of security guards or attendants; and Failure to properly screen employees or visitors. Negligent security cases involve people who are victimized in ways that go beyond physical scars and damage. It often takes years for assault or rape victims to feel safe again. We speak for those who can no longer speak for themselves. Failure to provide appropriate security can rob someone of much more than their sense of security – it can rob them of their freedom and dignity. At the Butler Law Group, we demand adequate compensation for wounds that are more than just physical.

- Wrongful Death

When selecting an attorney in a wrongful death claim, most people are looking for an attorney who cares about obtaining justice for them. They also want to hire an attorney who has the passion, skill and experience needed to stand up against insurance companies. Howard Butler is not only an accomplished litigator — he, too, lost a loved one in a senseless accident. When he was 13 years old, his father was suddenly killed in a car accident and understands firsthand the lifelong effects of such a loss.

We will make sure that our case evaluation covers all damages allowable under the law including, but not limited to: Medical costs; Funeral expenses; lost earning capacity; Mental Anguish; and Loss of comfort, companionship and guidance.
