A subsequent test on the car showed that the axle had be installed with defective metal bolts by General Motor at the time of manufacturing. Does Mikie have any remedy? Against whom and for what? Business LAw 285 please
Explanation / Answer
Yes, Mikie has a remedy, as it is clear that the accident is due to the defective metal bolts, as it is proven from the subsequent tests conducted on the vehicle.
There may be 2 parties responsible, that is either manufacturing company or the parts manufacturing company, as the defective parts are the cause of the accident , hence damages has to be paid by either manufacturing company or parts manufacturing company.
but there is need for proving the cause of the accident and if the accident is exclusively due to the defective parts ,then only mikie get the remedy against manufacturing firm.
Even mikie purchased a used car , he will get the remedy against the manufacturing company, but there is need for proof of evidence for the cause of the accident.
