Brake Failure Truck Accident Lawyer

A study done by the Department of Transportation (DOT) shows that 29% of U.S. truck accidents can be attributed to brake failure or other brake-related issues contributing to major collisions every year. When an 80,000-pound truck cannot stop, damages can be extensive, and injuries can be catastrophic or fatal. If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident due to another driver’s negligence, we at 844 See Mike are here for you every step of the way to ensure that your rights are protected, and you are fully compensated for your injuries and losses.

In a case where brake failure is suspected, it may be difficult to determine who might be at fault. An experienced personal injury lawyer can help to determine who the potential liable party could be, including:

• The driver-Truck drivers are tasked with ensuring their trucks are properly maintained. Federal law requires drivers to maintain inspection and maintenance records and to provide a daily pre-trip inspection of the entire truck, including the braking system. Drivers may also depower the braking system in an attempt to save on maintenance costs which puts strain on the rest of the truck, causing accidents.

• The trucking company-Truck companies are required to keep trucks running under their direction in safe condition. They are also required to keep all maintenance records and to replace truck parts that may have been recalled. Deliberately ignoring recalls or failing to properly inspect trucks can put other drivers at risk.

• The company who loaded the truck-Overloading or misloading a truck can cause the braking system to overheat and malfunction, causing brake failure and accidents.

• The truck manufacturer-The truck manufacturer may be liable if they install faulty equipment on their vehicles or modify the braking systems before the sale of the truck.

• The parts manufacturer-Braking systems are highly regulated by the federal government but sometimes mistakes can happen in the manufacturing process or the brakes are just defective by design.
