The Dangers of Faulty Truck Maintenance
Semi trucks routinely carry up to 80,000 pounds of loads and travel at high speeds. A single mechanical failure can lead to a truck accident, causing serious and life-threatening injuries to the truck driver and anyone else in the truck's path.
Failure to properly maintain semi trucks can result in:
- Faulty brakes
- Steering system failure
- Inadequate lights
- Inadequate reflectors
- Faulty tires/tire blowouts
Trucking companies are aggressive in defending against injury claims. The negligent parties in your truck accident will likely claim the truck was properly maintained, or that they had no way of knowing about the equipment failure.
Our attorneys are adept at uncovering the root causes of truck accidents. We consult with leading experts in truck maintenance, accident reconstruction and other fields who help us find the facts so we can identify liable parties. We will put our skill and experiences to work for you, seeking full and fair compensation for the losses you have suffered.
