There are many factors that can contribute to truck accidents, including human error, dangerous driving, inexperience, and speeding. However, when truck drivers or trucking companies don’t take the time to properly maintain their vehicles, decide to cut corners on expensive maintenance, or truck parts are manufactured improperly, equipment malfunction can cause serious and deadly truck accidents.

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.

Examples of Equipment Malfunction

Trucking companies and their drivers are responsible for ensuring that their vehicles are safe and properly maintained and parts manufacturers and maintenance companies are responsible for providing parts and services that are as safe as reasonably possible.

The most common types of equipment malfunction that cause truck accidents include:

  • Overheated tires
  • Faulty or overheated brakes
  • Failed suspension system
  • Defective hydraulic system
  • Defective hitch or coupling system
  • Broken or malfunctioning windshield wipers

Determining Liability

Determining liability in a truck accident can be difficult. When a truck accident occurs, several parties may be at fault, including the truck driver, the trucking company owner, or the parts manufacturer.
