In a place like Dublin, many crashes happen in dense traffic patterns—stop-and-go commutes, lane changes, and sudden braking events. That environment can create two problems in defective auto part cases:
- Multiple “plausible” explanations show up quickly (maintenance issues, driver behavior, aftermarket parts, or “normal wear”).
- Evidence disappears early—the vehicle gets repaired, parts are replaced, and onboard data may be lost once the car is cleared or serviced.
Even if the failure seems obvious (for example, a safety system warning that appeared before impact or a sudden loss of braking/steering control), insurers may still argue the defect wasn’t the cause.
