Truck Defects / Malfunctions Lawyer
18-wheelers and semi trucks endure heavy burdens and long hours on the road, making it imperative that they have high-quality, defect-free mechanical components that truck drivers can rely upon to control their vehicles. Unfortunately, auto part defects or systems malfunctions can be catastrophic, potentially leading to devastating accidents that can involve multiple parties on or near the road. If anyone is injured as a result of a defective truck part, the designer or manufacturer of that item may be held responsible for the damages they caused.
Hazardous Truck Defects
Although a variety of auto part defects can affect the safety of a large commercial truck, malfunctions involving a truck’s steering or brakes may make it impossible for even the most experienced driver to prevent a collision. In particular, the following defects are often associated with major truck accidents:
- Brake malfunction
- Tire defects
These defects can render it exceedingly difficult for a truck driver to avoid an accident. If a truck driver does cause a collision because of a defective part, the designer or manufacturer of that part may be held legally responsible for the costs associated with the subsequent injuries.
