Crash Avoidance & Lane Departure

Crash avoidance and lane departure systems are designed to prevent accidents. Today’s vehicles are equipped with advanced safety technology that’s meant to assist drivers and reduce the risk of collisions. Features like automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and forward-collision warnings have become standard in many makes and models.

Too often, however, manufacturers choose not to equip lower trim levels of a vehicle with essential crash avoidance features—even when those features are available and standard on higher-end models. This is what we call a “failure to equip” claim and the manufacturer’s decision is typically driven by cost, not safety.  As a result, countless drivers are left without critical technology that could prevent serious injuries or save lives. 

At Lowe Trial Lawyers, we believe safety should never be a luxury option. When automakers prioritize profits over protection, we hold them accountable for the consequences.

Even when manufacturers do equip vehicles with crash avoidance technology, these systems must function reliably. If they fail to detect hazards, apply brakes, or warn drivers as intended, they can create a false sense of security—and end up causing the very accidents they’re meant to prevent.
