Among all tort cases, the group most likely to win compensation were those seeking damages for personal injuries from automobile accidents. Vehicular litigation, in which auto lawsuits play a high percentage, comprise the leading cause of personal injury lawsuits. Auto lawsuits, therefore, are civil tort cases. As tort litigation, auto lawsuits are filed by lawyers and litigants to obtain compensation for the suffering of any personal damage. This can be physical and/or psychological in nature. Auto lawsuits, depending upon the type, can be product liability lawsuits against defective or unsafe automotive equipment. In this category, the most common auto lawsuits are against defective or unsafe car seats, air bags, seatbelts or tires. Alternatively, still operating under Tort Law, auto lawsuits may refer to claims for compensation based on fraud by the manufacturer or seller of the automobile. Car accident cases, however, still constitute the highest amount of auto lawsuits.
