TRUCKING ACCIDENT ATTORNEY
There are very strict regulations in place to ensure that commercial trucks receive routine inspections and maintenance. If truck drivers fail to inspect their vehicles properly and if they fail to adhere to the regulations, very serious trucking accidents can result if any of the truck’s parts or equipment is defective while on the road.
Trucks have so many different parts and pieces of equipment that can become defective. Serious accidents have resulted from trucks having defects or equipment failures from the following parts:
- Brake failure
- Broken defroster
- Broken hydraulic hoses
- Broken mirrors
- Burned out headlights, turn signals or taillights
- Defective anti-lock braking system (ABS)
- Defective straps and tie downs
- Defective wheels
- Defective trailer hitch
- Faulty windshield wipers
- Steering defects
- Steering mechanism failure
- Tire defects
When a trucking accident results from equipment failure, there are several different parties that can be held responsible for the accident, including the truck driver, the trucking company and the manufacturers of the parts that were defective.
If you or a loved one suffered a serious injury as the result of equipment failure on a truck, The Fitz Law Group is here to get you the compensation that you deserve.
