When the hitch of a truck fails while pulling a trailer, the results can be devastating, often resulting in severe injuries and wrongful death. While this failure may be due to improper installation or driver inexperience, hitch failure can also be due to defective design.

Truck parts manufacturers are required to issue recalls when a particular part poses a risk to the safety of others. When these manufacturers fail, not only does it put the truck driver at risk for an accident, it puts other drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists at risk for damages, injuries, and death.

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.

Product Liability Claims in Truck and Trailer Recalls

Following a truck accident, an investigation into what caused the accident should not only include the driver and trucking company but also if there were any issues with manufacturing and manufactured parts.

If it can be shown that a product on the truck is at least partly liable for a truck accident, it is possible to include a manufacturer in a lawsuit. The law not only protects consumers, it requires manufacturers to provide financial compensation to those consumers that suffered damages or injuries due to their products.

Unfortunately, even when product recalls are issued, trucking companies may not always replace the defective parts. If it can be shown that a trucking company or truck driver knowingly failed to replace a defective truck or trailer part, they too can be responsible for damages.

If you or a loved one was involved in a truck accident, it is possible that a truck and trailer recall could be to blame. An experienced personal injury lawyer can investigate all possible causes and ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve.
