Truck Brake Failure Accidents

Dallas-Fort-Worth-Brake-Failure-Accident

Dallas Fort-Worth Injury Attorney for Accidents Caused by Brake Failure

Brake failure in a large commercial truck or big rig poses a real danger to motorists, pedestrians, and others on the road. This crash may lead to severe or even fatal injuries as well as property damage. When the vehicle’s brakes fail, the trucker may lose control of his truck and crash into other vehicles. And if the cargo is improperly loaded on the truck, it can become loose and fall to the road, resulting in devastating injuries.

If you or your loved one were hurt in a truck accident, truck brake failure accident attorneys could help you to get the compensation you deserve for your injuries.

Common causes of truck brake failure crashes

Whether it is a trucker, manufacturer, or loading company, carelessness is the most common cause for truck defective-brake accidents. Other causes may include:

  • Defective manufacturer of the brakes
  • Cargo overloading
  • Inappropriate maintenance including thinning brake pads and brakes covered with grease or oil
  • Truck driver distractions
  • Failure to routinely inspect, repair and maintain the brake system

Often the lives of other motorists and passengers on the road are handed over to truckers, trucking companies, and manufacturers. Careless or reckless truckers, defective products, and neglectful mechanics can all cause commercial truck accidents caused by faulty brake systems.

Who could be liable when brake failure results in a truck accident?

When it comes to proving brake failure, you must ensure that the party you are suing is truly liable— since truckers, trucking companies and manufacturers could be potentially responsible. If a truck is not maintained correctly, the trucking company and trucker will both be liable for negligent maintenance. If a trucker is not adequately trained and experienced, the trucking company and trucker both may be responsible for the brake failure crash. If the brakes were faulty or defective, the brake manufacturer could be responsible for the truck brake failure accident, and they would have to pay for the damages that are associated with those injuries.

Working with James Ames for my personal injury case was a great experience. I had some outstanding personal debt that delayed the process a long time, but Linda and James went above and beyond to help me get everything taken care of so my case could be settled. Very happy with the work they did and I will recommend them to anyone who may need their services. Thanks James!
